4:3 Programme Display (setting for widescreen TVs)
This setting controls how ‘standard’ 4:3 programmes display on a
widescreen (16:9) TV. This item is only available if your TV Type is
widescreen (16:9) (see page 55).
Centre
Cut
The centre portion only of any widescreen (16:9)
transmissions will display.
14:9
You see a wider portion of a widescreen (16:9)
transmission than with ‘centre cut-out’, but you do
not see the entire picture. The picture does not fill
the screen.
Letter Box
The whole of any widescreen transmissions will
display, but black bars will appear at the top and
bottom of the screen.
Pillar Box
The whole of the picture displays, as if it were on a
standard TV, with black bars at either side of the
picture.
14:9
The picture displays slightly enlarged, so it fills more
of the screen, but is slightly cropped at the top and
bottom. Note: some programmes are transmitted in
a 14:9 format, with black borders included at the top
and bottom. In this case, only the transmitted
borders are cropped so you do not lose any of the
TV picture.
Stretch
The whole of the picture displays, stretched
sideways to fill your TV screen.
