Part of the top and bottom portions of the picture are excluded from the screen. Movie expand 14:9 Expands the picture to 14:9 movie aspect ratio. Part of the top and bottom portions of the picture are excluded from the screen. Black or gray bars are shown at the left and right sides. HELPFUL HINT The term aspect ratio refers to the relationship between the width and height of a TV screen. Historically, TV screen width has been 33 percent greater than its height, amounting to a 4:3 aspect ratio. The width of your widescreen TV, however, is nearly 80 percent greater than its height, which means its aspect ratio is 16:9. This screen corresponds well with the tendency of the eyes to feel more comfortable with fields of view and action planes that are horizontally oriented. The wide screen is also proportionally truer to the formats in which movies are filmed and presented in theaters. However, many widescreen DVDs will still display black bars to preserve the true theatrical format. 4:3 Displays a conventional 4:3 picture without change. Black or gray bars will show at the left and right sides. 16:9 subtitle Zooms the picture for a full view of subtitles or other information displayed at the bottom of the picture. Part of the top portion of the picture is excluded from the screen. Movie expand 16:9 Alters the image both horizontally (stretched) and vertically (cropped) to fill the TV's wide screen. Part of the top and bottom portions of the picture will be excluded from the screen. Wide screen Evenly stretches the width of the picture to fill the screen. 35 Selecting a Picture Format Option Choose a picture format size to match the type of program you're watching.
