SD Content to HD Output
When standard-definition content is received and output in a high-definition format, the
following Screen Mode settings are available:
Table 5: SD Content/HD Output
Normal The Normal setting will display black bars on the left
and right sides of a 16:9 a screen.
Stretch The Stretch setting will horizontally stretch a 4:3 image
to fill a 16:9 screen.
Side Stretch The Side Stretch setting will stretch the 4:3 image more
at the sides than in the middle to fill a 16:9 screen and
produce less distortion in the central area of the image.
Adjust The Adjust setting allows the 4:3 image to be adjusted
in 16 (Adjust 1 - Adjust 16) steps* when viewing the
full-screen image. This flexible setting may permit the
best display of certain programs on your display, but is
cropped on the top and bottom.
* Press SCREEN MODE button then use V/v
to adjust. Press button, to apply the
picture size change.

Many TVs also have options that allow the screen image to be stretched, cropped, etc. The above
illustrations assume that the TV's screen adjustments are in their default or normal mode and that the
broadcast image is either a standard 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio.
