Wide-Screen vs. Standard Formats
4:3 TVs Showing 16:9 programs
For a standard 4:3 TV showing a wide screen program, the program is too wide to fit on the screen. To alleviate this, choose:
- Letterbox
With this format, the 16:9 image is shrunk until the entire width of the program fits on your TV. Since the aspect ratio of the program is
maintained, the image is no longer tall enough to fill your screen, so gray or black bars are seen at the top and bottom of the screen To
change the bar color, press MENU, select "Parental, Fav's & Setup", "System Setup", "HDTV" and then "Video." Select the desired bar
color. See your TV's owner's manual for information on the best color for your set.
