16:9 (high-definition) source
Most HDTV signals use a wide screen aspect ratio
of 16:9. The 16:9 fills your
BRAVIA
screen,
maintaining a crisp, clear, vivid picture.
4:3 (standard-definition) source
Most standard-definition signals use a boxy
4:3 aspect ratio. When a 4:3 image is displayed on
an TV, you will see black bars on the sides. The
picture quality may not be as sharp as with HD
sources.
