Screen Mode: You may select a picture size that best suits your TV for both standard-definition and high-definition programming. See page 76 for more information about Screen Mode settings:

High Def to Standard Def: The Screen Mode settings when viewing 1080i or 720p content output in a 480p or 480i Format include Letterbox, Side Crop and Squeeze. Use Letterbox to reproduce the original wide image with black borders on top and bottom. Use Side Crop to remove the sides of the original wide image without any black borders. Use Squeeze to view an adjusted image without any black borders.

Standard Def to High Def: The Screen Mode settings when viewing 480p or 480i content output in a 720p or 1080i Format include Normal, Stretch, Side Stretch and Adjust (with 16 discrete settings; Adjust 1 - Adjust 16). Use Normal to reproduce the original image with black borders on the sides. Use Stretch and Side Stretch to view an adjusted image without any black borders. Use Adjust to view an image that you may adjust later in 16 different steps without any black borders.

High Def to High Def: The temporary Screen Mode settings when viewing 1080i or 720p content output in a 1080i or 720p Format include Standard, Expand and Shrink. Use Standard to reproduce the original image. Use Expand and Shrink to view an adjusted image. These temporary settings may be useful when viewing certain HD content that was originally created in an SD format.

The HD to HD Screen Mode settings return to the default (Standard) each time the channel is changed or the HD DVR is turned off.
