TV screen
This option enables you to tell your Mediamaster whether you
have a 4:3 (normal) or 16:9 (widescreen) TV.
• If you select 16:9 in this option, the box will automatically
display any widescreen programmes in the correct format.
• If you choose 4:3, a further option will be highlighted below
that enables you to select how you would like a widescreen
programme to be shown on your standard 4:3 TV.
Note:
Normal (4:3) is only available if it is selected in item 1 of
this menu
If you have a 4:3 TV, you need to choose whether widescreen
programmes are shown in a ‘letterbox’ format ie. with black bars
at the top and bottom of the TV screen, or whether the
programme is ‘expanded’ to fill the height of the screen, but as
a result parts of the picture at the side are lost. You should choose
options ‘letterbox’ and ‘full screen’ respectively.
