When displaying HDTV content, it is recommended that you display it in its native 16:9 widescreen mode. For this, you may need to select the HDTV Fill to Aspect Ratio mode on the projector to preserve the height-to-width relationship of the material. Note that in this mode, you will have black stripes on top and bottom of the projected image, just as you see on a standard TV set when viewing widescreen content.
