Description
Select Anamorphic to view 16:9
DVDs and HDTV programs in
their native aspect ratio. 4:3
images are stretched horizon-
tally 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 moni-
tors, standard television pro-
gramming and most VHS video
cassettes.
In Letterbox mode, the image is
stretched vertically; the top and
bottom portions are "blanked
off." Letterbox is best suited for
viewing LaserDisc movies or
non-anamorphic DVDs on a 4:3
screen.
A 4:3 image is scaled NON-lin-
early (more on the sides than in
the center) to fit a 16x9 screen.
Select Cinema to view 2.35
source material on a 16:9
screen. The upper and lower
portions of the screen are
masked, but the geometry of the
active image area is not
changed.
