Note: You can find aspect ratios on the back of most DVD covers. Also, Anamorphic DVDs are
usually marked “Anamorphic” or “Enhanced for 16:9 TVs.”
Available On-Screen Format Sizes
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
reduces 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.
HD Expand (1080i)
Enlarges the picture, cropping some of the image on both sides. This Expand format removes
or reduce black side bars on HD broadcasts of 4:3 images with black bars.
Note: Expand HD is only available in the 1080i format.
Zoom
Enlarges the picture, cropping some of the image at each side, top and bottom. The Zoom
format removes 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-42315)
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. The gray bars are considered a fixed image. See Important Notes on pages 6, 12, or
30.
Note: This format is not available in the 1080i signal.
