If you have a 16:9 TV:

Pillarbox

Features vertical black bars on
either side of a 4:3 program
shown on a widescreen 16:9
television screen.

Since the majority of television
content is 4:3, these bars allow
the original program to be seen
in its intended format without
distortion or stretching.

Stretch

Features a picture that has been
“stretched” to fill the full screen
display with no black bars.
Programs will appear distorted
from their original presentation.

If you have a 4:3 TV:

Letterbox

Features black horizontal bars
that preserve the original 16:9
aspect ratio when watching a
widescreen-formatted movie on
a standard 4:3 television.

Note: Letterbox is not available
for 1080i video output mode.

Zoom

On 4:3 TVs, the 16:9 aspect
ratio is maintained by filling the
picture vertically and cropping
horizontally to fit.

Squeeze

Features a picture that has
been “squeezed” to fill the full
screen display with no black
bars. Programs will appear
distorted from their original
presentation.
