Letterbox and Compression modes
The Letterbox and Compression modes display the wide picture (16:9) with bars at top and bottom. The picture retains its true proportion.
Letterbox (recommended mode):
•The picture is horizontally stretched, with gray bars at the top and bottom.
•The picture quality is lower than in the Compression mode because of a reduction in the scanning lines.
•There is a slightly lower chance of permanently engraining stationary patterns in the picture tube than in Compression mode because there is a small amount of raster in the bars at the top and bottom.
Note:
You can also change the image shape using the menu system. Select IMAGE SHAPE HD1 or HD2 in the THEATER menu.

Compression:
•The picture is vertically compressed, with black bars at the top and bottom.
•The exact image is reproduced and the picture quality is better because of more effective use of scanning lines.
•There is a greater chance of permanently engraining stationary patterns in the picture tube than in the Letterbox mode, since there is no raster in the bars at the top and bottom.
