3.2.4 Television aspect ratio

If you have a wide-screen television, set the TV Aspect Ratio
option to 16:9.
You can enjoy well both wide-screen programs and normal-
screen programs with your wide-screen television as the above
figures show. The left figure shows a wide picture displayed
in the wide screen, and the right figure shows a normal picture
displayed in the wide screen.
If you have a normal-screen television, set the TV Aspect Ratio
option to 4:3.
You cannot enjoy well wide-screen programs with your normal-
screen television as the above figures show. The left figure
shows a normal picture displayed in the normal screen. To
watch wide-screen programs in the shape like the center fig-
ure, set the 16:9 Display Format option to Letter Box; then,
wide-screen pictures will be reduced to fit to the width of the
normal screen. Otherwise to watch them in the shape like the
right figure, set the option to Center extract; then, wide-screen
because the digital receiver is just a bypass for the video
recorder.
