DVD Image Definitions
Image information may be stated on the DVD 
case.  Some DVDs support both formats 
described below.
Anamorphic (or Enhanced for WideScreen TV)
Indicates DVDs recorded to show widescreen 
images properly on 16:9 TV sets using the TV’s 
Standard format mode (recommended).
Non-Anamorphic (or 4:3, 1.33:1, Letter Box, or 
Full Screen)
Indicates DVDs recorded for viewing on squar-
ish TV screens.  They may be full screen (4:3 or 
1.33:1) which crops movies to fit the narrow TV, or 
letter box, which adds black top and bottom bars.
Picture Shape and Display Formats
Format Definitions
Note: See page 18 for use of the FORMAT key to apply 
the formats described here.
Standard:  The full-screen format used by HDTV signals.  
Use this format to display anamorphic DVDs with a 1.78:1 
or 1.85:1 aspect ratio.  Anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1 
aspect ratio are displayed correctly but with top and 
bottom black bars.  Squarish (4:3) images are stretched 
evenly from side to side.  Available for all signals.
Expand:  Enlarges the picture to fill the screen by crop-
ping the top and bottom; useful for reducing the letter box 
top and bottom bars of non-anamorphic DVD images.
Zoom:  Enlarges the picture to fill the screen by cropping 
the sides, top, and bottom to eliminate black bars.
480i/480p and SD 4:3 signals:•	  Eliminates top and 
bottom bars on anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1 
aspect ratio.
720p, 1080i, SD 16:9, and HD signals:•	  Eliminates 
bars added to squarish 4:3 images.
Stretch:  Stretches a squarish 4:3 image across the 
screen to display the entire image with less distortion 
than the Standard format.
Stretch Plus:  Similar to Stretch, but minimizes distortion 
on the sides by expanding the picture to crop off portions 
of the top and bottom.  Use   to adjust the vertical 
position of the picture.
Narrow:  Displays narrow 4:3 images in their origi-
nal shape.  Adds black side bars to fill the screen.
Wide Expand:  Enlarges the picture, cropping the 
image on both sides.  Removes or reduces black 
side bars added to narrow images converted to 
16:9 signals for digital broadcast.
Note:  All high-definition channels send wide-
screen (16:9) signals, but not all programming was 
created for the widescreen format.  The broad-
caster may stretch the image or add side bars to 
fill the widescreen area.
Full Native:  Displays all pixels in the original image

room’s walls or furnishings.
Before You Begin
Positioning the TV
Center the seating area in front of the TV and at •	
least six feet away from it.
Arrangements that give good results:•	
If the room is an odd shape, locate the TV to take •	
best advantage of wall reflections.
Avoid locations that may distort sound reflections.•	
Connecting the TV
To hear digital surround sound, the TV must be con-
nected to a digital surround sound source.  The TV can 
receive digital surround sound from:
