Wide stretches a 4:3 aspect ratio picture to the edges

of the screen. Since the picture is being stretched, the display image may appear distorted. If the program

is already formatted for widescreen viewing (1.85:1 or 2.35:1), then black bars will appear on the top and bottom of the display image.

image. This option is only available when the TV is

displaying a 480i/480p source.
