Wide-Screen vs. Standard Formats 4:3 TVs Showing 16:9 programs For a standard 4:3 TV showing a wide screen program, the program is too wide to fit on the screen. To alleviate this, choose: - Letterbox With this format, the 16:9 image is shrunk until the entire width of the program fits on your TV. Since the aspect ratio of the program is maintained, the image is no longer tall enough to fill your screen, so gray or black bars are seen at the top and bottom of the screen To change the bar color, press MENU, select "Parental, Fav's & Setup", "System Setup", "HDTV" and then "Video." Select the desired bar color. See your TV's owner's manual for information on the best color for your set. 165
