Adjusting the Aspect Ratio

Some picture sources, such as standard-definition TV broadcasts, are not
formatted for high-definition video. To fit such images optimally onto the
screen, you can change their shape (or aspect ratio) by pressing the
(Aspect) button on the remote control. Press the
move through the settings. The setting you choose depends on how the
original picture source is formatted.
Note
No matter which aspect ratio setting you choose, the original image is
automatically "upscaled" (resized) to fit on your Ensemble HD screen.

Note
Movies released in a theatrical widescreen format (such as 1.85:1 or 2.35:1) will display with black bars at the top and
bottom. That's because high-definition TVs and home entertainment systems use the slightly narrower 16:9 (1.78:1)
aspect ratio.
