[. . . ] While there is no perfect solution for displaying a squarish, narrower image on a wide screen, Mitsubishi offers several picture formats from which you can choose. Note: "Picture format" refers to the aspect ratio or the relative size/shape of the picture, such as 16:9 or 4:3. Press FORMAT on the TV remote control to cycle through the available picture formats. The last-used format for each device is used when you return to that device. Note: In Split Screen mode, the FORMAT key changes the picture size on both sides of the screen, but the aspect ratio (relative height and width) of both pictures remains the same. TV Picture Format Definitions Standard: This is the full-screen format. This format is useful for displaying Anamorphic DVDs that have 1. 78:1 or 1. 85:1 aspect ratios. Anamorphic DVDs that have a 2. 35:1 aspect ratio are displayed with black bars at the top and bottom, but show the entire picture correctly. Narrow (4:3) pictures are stretched evenly from side to side. Expand: This enlarges the picture to fill the screen, cropping off some of the image at the top and bottom. This is useful for reducing the letter box top and bottom bars of non-anamorphic DVD images. Available for 480i, 480p, and digital SD 4:3 signals only. Zoom: This enlarges the picture, cropping off some of the image at each side and top and bottom. This is useful for removing or reducing the black top and bottom bars on anamorphic DVDs with a 2. 35:1 aspect ratio. Available for 480i and 480p and SD 4:3 signals only. Stretch: This format stretches a narrow (4:3) picture across the screen; there is less stretch in the center than at the sides, however. This allows the entire narrow image to be displayed across the screen with less distortion than is seen in the Standard format. Available for 480i and 480p and SD 4:3 signals only. Stretch Plus: Similar to stretch mode, but to minimize distortions on the side, the picture is expanded to crop off portions of the top and bottom. Except when displaying menus, press to adjust the position of the picture vertically. Available for 480i and 480p and SD 4:3 signals only. Narrow: This format displays narrow (4:3) pictures in their original shape, and adds stationary black side bars to fill the screen. Available for 480i, 480p and SD 4:3 signals only.
