Select Anamorphic to view 16:9 DVDs
and HDTV programs in their native
aspect ratio.
4:3 images are stretched horizontally to
fit a 16:9 screen.
Standard 4:3 scales the input signal to fit
in the center of the 16:9 screen. 4:3 is
the aspect ratio used by computer
monitors, standard television
programming and most VHS video
cassettes.
Letterbox mode scales (zooms in on) a
4:3 image linearly (by the same amount
on all sides) to fill a 16:9 display.
Letterbox is best suited for viewing
LaserDisc movies or non-anamorphic
DVDs on a 16:9 screen.
VirtualWide scales a 4:3 image
NON-linearly (more on the sides than in
the center) to fit a 16:9 screen.
On a 2.35:1 screen, the image is
centered between black bars on either
side.
