16:9 TVs showing 4:3 programs
For a wide screen 16:9 TV showing a standard 4:3 TV program, the program is too tall to fit
the screen. Your choices here include:
Pillar box
The 4:3 aspect ratio is maintained, the image is no longer wide enough to fill the screen,
so gray or black bars are seen at the left and right edges. To change the bar color, access the
HDTV screen in System Setup as described above, then select the desired bar color option
under the TV Ratio tab.
Full
In this setting, instead of adding bars to the sides, the 4:3 program image is stretched
horizontally until it’s wide enough to fill the screen. Your entire screen will be full, but the
images are a little stretched to compensate.
Zoom
This format crops (cuts off) the top and bottom of a 4:3 frame, keeping the 4:3 ratio intact.
