Aspect Ratios
PANORAMA - With this ratio a normal 4:3 aspect picture is stretched to fit the dimensions of the 16:9 aspect screen. REGULAR - The regular ratio is used when you want to watch a 4:3 broadcast or recorded program without modifying the original picture to fit the dimensions of your 16:9 screen. The 4:3 picture will fill the screen from top to bottom, while black bars will appear to fill up the remaining space along the picture�s sides. The 4:3 picture will be centered within the boundaries of the 16:9 screen.
CINEMA - This ratio �zooms in� on the center part of a 4:3 aspect picture, blowing it up to fill the 16:9 screen.
FULL - This is the ratio to use when watching 16:9 High-Definition broadcasts.
CINEMA ZOOM - This ratio stretches the High-Definition 16:9 aspect image to eliminate the black surrounding bars.
HD PANORAMA - This ratio stretches the High-Definition 16:9 aspect image to eliminate the black side bars.
