Hong Kong DTT channels are always
broadcast in 16:9 widescreen format.
If the programme is 4:3, then black
bars will be included in the broadcasted
image on the sides of the programme.
Aspect Ratio Correction can be used to
remove these black bars and stretch the
image in different ways to achieve the
desired result.
Use the button of the Magic TV™
Remote Control to cycle through the
available modes.
