off. When automatic recording is on, TiVo's Suggestions record onto free disk space.

to record, TiVo's Suggestions are the first things to be deleted. When you first set up

Selections on this screen let you choose one of two settings, the default "Standard
Screen - 4:3" or "Wide Screen - 16:9." If you have a normal television, you should
leave this setting at the default. If you have a wide screen set, select "Wide Screen -
16:9." Doing this allows programs transmitted in a wide screen format to fill the wider
screen. If you are unsure of the correct setting, leave it at the default "Standard Screen
- 4:3." If this is the wrong setting for your television, programs in wide screen format
may appear 'squashed' horizontally—people would seem very tall and thin.
Movies are generally made in a wider format than standard television images. Movie
images on television deal with the difference in one of the following three ways:
The edges of the movie are carefully edited to make it fit
the television format. This format is unaffected by the TV Aspect Ratio setting.
The full width of the movie image is displayed. On standard TVs, this
leaves a black margin on the top and bottom of the image. Some wide screen TVs can
16:9
4:3 eliminate the margins and make Letterbox fill the screen. (See the owner's manual for
your wide screen TV.) This format is unaffected by the TV Aspect Ratio setting.
This method allows the Receiver to choose how to display the image. If
TV Aspect Ratio is set to "Wide Screen," the Receiver displays a wide screen image. If
           "       
TV Aspect Ratio is set to "Standard," the Receiver displays a Letterbox image.
