portions of the top and bottom. Useful when no important information is shown at the top and/or bottom of
the screen.

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. .

Anamorphic DVDs that have the 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 aspect ratios. However, Anamorphic DVDs that have the
