With a 4:3 Ratio TV or Monitor
If you are using a 4:3 aspect ratio TV or monitor and receiving an image with a 16:9 aspect ratio,
you need to specify how the image is displayed.
Letter box
Choose this when receiving a 16:9 image and you want to see the original wide format. Letter
boxing shrinks the picture so the entire image will fit on the screen. Blank panels appear at the top
and bottom of the screen. 1080i doesn’t support letter box mode. FULL mode will be automatically
selected.
Full
Choose this when you want the television to adjust the16:9 image vertically so it fills your 4:3
screen. No blank panels will be added, and the image is horizontally unaltered.
Zoom
Choose this when receiving a 16:9 image and you want the wide movie format to fill the entire
screen. Left and right portions of the picture are cropped, or cut.
NOTE
This indicates the default format in each condition, which may be modified by user’s choice.
