Natural picture size

The image is displayed close to its originally formatted proportion. Some program formats will display with sidebars and/or bars at the top and bottom.

Natural picture size example

TheaterWide 1 picture size (for 4:3 format programs)

The center of the picture remains close to its original proportion, but the left and right edges are stretched wider to fill the screen.

TheaterWide 2 picture size (for letter box programs)

The picture is stretched wider to fill the width of the screen, but only slightly stretched taller.

The top and bottom edges of the picture are hidden. To view the hidden areas, see “Scrolling the TheaterWide® picture” on the next page.
