Auto Pillarbox - Pace TDC779X Service And Installation Manual

Auto Pillarbox

If the TV is a 16:9 TV that does not automatically detect 4:3 transmissions (and therefore does not
add black bars to the sides of the picture), then 4:3 transmissions may display "stretched" to fit
the 16:9 screen. If you do not want this effect, you can set the set-top to add black bars to the 4:3
picture, so that it is transmitted to the TV at a 16:9 aspect ratio. See the example below.
4:3 transmission
Changing the Auto Pillarbox setting
