Aspect Ratio
Correction
Digital HD channels are always broadcast
in 16:9 widescreen format. If the programme
is 4:3, then black bars will be included
in the broadcasted image on the sides of
the programme.
Aspect Ratio Correction can be used to remove
these black bars and stretch the image in
different ways to achieve the desired result.
Use the
button of the Magic TV™ Remote
Control to cycle through the available modes.
The broadcast fills the screen
Magic TV™ removes the sides
and non-linearly stretches the
image keeping the centre of the
screen undistorted
Magic TV™ zooms in on the
centre of the screen - retaining
the original shape
Magic TV™ removes the sides
and evenly stretches the image
to fill the screen
If a programme appears stretched in
‘Full’ mode, this mode could correct it
by adding black bars to the sides or
top and bottom
