Screen Formats
The pictures you receive may be transmitted in 16:9 format (wide screen) or 4:3 format (conventional
screen). 4:3 pictures sometimes have a black band at the left and right of the screen. This function
allows you to optimise the picture display on screen.
4:3
This format is recommended if you want to display the 4:3 picture using the full
surface of the screen.
Expand 4:3
When this format is selected, the picture is vertically expanded, thus reducing the
horizontal black bars.
Compress 16:9
The format is recommended if you want to compress full screen movie images
into letterbox format. When this format is selected, black horizontal bars can be
seen at the top and bottom of the TV screen.
