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.
This aspect ratio is not
available with HD signals.
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 horizontally
scaled in a NON-linear
fashion (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.
