Aspect Ratio.

A TV’s aspect ratio is the comparison of the screen’s width

to its height. This is typically 4:3 for analogue and standard definition
broadcasts and 16:9 for HD broadcasts.

Aspect Ratio Correction.

This is required when the shape of the

broadcast picture and the TV don’t match. The Aspect button on your
remote control lets you quickly change the shape of the broadcast
picture. See 

section 5.3

for further information.

Firmware Upgrade.

From time to time Magic TV™ will receive updates

for the software that controls it. If possible these updates will occur
automatically Over-The-Air (OTA). Firmware update can also be
achieved via USB. It’s possible that these updates will provide features
not covered in this guide. Details of new features will be available at
www.magictv.com/en/support.html. See 

section 8.2.
