4:3 aspect ratio is not large
enough to fill the TV’s screen,
black bars are added to the left
and right of the display image.
• stretch
expands the display image to fill the screen.
Images may appear wider than intended. If you are
watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content, black
bars will still appear on the top and bottom of the display
image.
This option is only available when the TV is
displaying a 720p/1080i source.
• Panoramic
expands the display image to fill the screen.
Images may appear wider than intended. If you are
watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content, black
bars will still appear on the top and bottom of the display
image.
This option is only available when the TV is
displaying a 480i/480p source.
• Wide
stretches a 4:3 aspect ratio picture to the edges
of the screen. Since the picture is being stretched, the
display image may appear distorted. If the program
is already formatted for widescreen viewing (1.85:1 or
2.35:1), then black bars will appear on the top and
bottom of the display image.
• Zoom
expands images with black bars to fit the screen.
