The FORMAT Key and Picture Shape
Important
Black bars at the edges of
the screen are common in HD
pictures. Black bars are not a
defect of the TV.
Black bars are added by broad-•
casters to fill the 16:9 screen
area while preserving the original
aspect ratio of the picture.
Your cable box, satellite receiver, •
or other device may also be
altering the broadcast picture.
If your device offers output in
native format, try using it with
Mitsubishi picture formats.
