Introduction
Screen formats
To deal with the mismatches that can occur between
the shapes of TVs and the aspect ratios of program
broadcasts, the Digital HDTV Tuner provides you with
a set of screen format controls.
These controls allows you to pick a format to use for
both 4:3 TVs showing 16:9 programs, and for 16:9
TVs showing 4:3 programs.
Here is an explanation of the options. (Details for
setting this preference are included in page 17).
