Zoom
Enlarges the picture, cropping some of the image
at each side, top and bottom. The Zoom format
is useful to remove or reduce the black top and
bottom bars on Anamorphic DVDs with 2.35:1
aspect ratio.
Note: This format is not available in the 1080i
signal.
Stretch
Default format for Ant-A and Ant-B, and Inputs
1-3. The Stretched format stretches narrow
4:3 images across the screen, however, there is
less stretch in the center than the sides.
Note: Stretch is not available in the 1080i format.
Stretch Plus (not available on WT-42413)
Similar to stretch mode, however to minimize
distortions on the side, the picture is expanded to
crop off portions of the top and bottom. Useful
when no important information is shown at the
top and/or bottom of the screen.
Narrow
Displays narrow 4:3 images in their original
shape and adds stationary gray side bars to fill
the screen. Caution should be observed when
using the Narrow format due to the stationary
gray side bars.
Note: This format is not available in the 1080i
signal.
Standard
Default format for DTV and Component Input
displays a full-screen format. The Standard
format displays Anamorphic DVDs that have
the 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 aspect ratios. However,
Anamorphic DVDs that have the 2.35:1 aspect
ratio still display black bars at the top and bottom
of the screen, while narrow (4:3) images are
stretched evenly from side to side.
Expand (480i/480p)
Enlarges the picture, cropping some of the image
at the top and bottom. The Expand format is
useful to reduce the letterbox top and bottom
bars of non-Anamorphic DVDs or to correct
narrow 4:3 images that have been stretched in
the Standard format.
Note: Expand is not available in the 1080i format.
Expand HD (1080i)
Enlarges the picture, cropping some of the image
on both sides. This Expand format is useful
to remove or reduce black side bars on HD
broadcasts of 4:3 images with black bars (See
page 64).
Note: Expand HD is only available in the 1080i
format.
