ÁThe images which appear on the TV screen, and what each screen mode is called, may differ depending on the manufacturer of the TV set or on the type of the TV set. Consult the instruction manual provided with your TV set.

For your reference: ÁLetterbox

Black bands are inserted at the top and bottom of the screen to fill in the gaps at the top and bottom where the size of the picture is smaller than the screen.

ÁPan & Scan

Part of the wide-screen picture (either at both sides or one side of the screen) is automatically eliminated so that the picture fills the whole screen.
