DVD Image Definitions
Image information may be stated on the DVD case. Some
DVDs support both of the formats described below.
Anamorphic (or Enhanced for WideScreen TV)
Indicates DVDs recorded to show widescreen images prop-
erly 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 squarish 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.
TV Display Format Definitions
Standard: This is 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. Narrow (4:3) images are stretched evenly from
side to side. Available for all signals.
Expand: Enlarges the picture to fill the screen by cropping
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 anamor-
phic DVDs with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio. 720p, 1080i, SD 16:9,
and HD signals: Eliminates bars added to 4:3 images.
Stretch: Stretches a narrow 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. You can adjust the vertical position of the
picture. Press
VIDEO
repeatedly to show the
Vert Adjustment
option, then press
ENTER.
Use to move the picture.
Narrow: Displays narrow 4:3 images in their original 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 widescreen (16:9)
signals, but not all such programming was created for this
format. The broadcaster may stretch the image or add side
bars to fill the widescreen area.
