The picture retains its true proportion. Letterbox: · The picture is vertically compressed, with gray bars at top and bottom. · The picture quality is lower than in the Compression mode because of a reduction in the scanning lines. · There is a slightly lower chance of permanently engraining stationary patterns in the picture tube than in Compression mode because there is a small amount of raster in the bars at the top and bottom. Note: You also can change the image shape using the menu system. Select IMAGE SHAPE HD1 or HD2 in the THEATER menu.

Fixed (non-moving) images (such as still PIP/POP windows or black/gray bars in wide-screen picture or PIP/POP formats) can become permanently engrained in the picture tube. This type of damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY because it is the result of misuse. See item 33 on page 4.
