...notes on wide screen features
Various broadcast stations now transmit movies and programs in true
wide screen format.
Your TV detects these signals and automatically switches your TV to the
correct viewing format. However, some broadcasters do not transmit this
automatic sensing signal, and so your TV will not recognize which format
is being transmitted. Your viewing format can be selected manually by
simply pressing the key on your handset to scroll through the
viewing format options.
See the examples below for the available viewing formats.

gives black bars to the
sides of the screen which
is consistent with screen
compression.
