Standard: The full-screen format used by HDTV signals. Use this format to display anamorphic DVDs with a 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 aspect ratio. Anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio are displayed correctly but with top and bottom black bars. Squarish (4:3) images are stretched evenly from side to side. Available for all signals.
