For a wide screen 16:9 TV showing a standard 4:3 TV program,
the program is too tall to fit on the screen. The DIRECTV

® 

High-

Definition Receiver gives you 3 ways to fix the problem:

Pillar box: If you choose the pillar box format, the 4:3 image is

shrunk until the entire height of the program fits on       
your TV. Since the aspect ratio of the program is
maintained, the image is no longer wide enough to fill
your screen, so black/gray bars are seen at the left and
right edges of the screen.

Full:         If you set your DIRECTV HD Receiver to the Full

setting, 4:3 images are shrunk to fit the height of the
screen,like in the Pillar box format. But instead of
applying black/gray bars to the sides of the screen, the
program image is stretched horizontally until it is wide
enough to fill your screen. Your entire TV screen is full,
but the program images are a little stretched to
compensate for the program – to – screen mismatch.

Zoom:      In this option the program image is magnified until

your entire screen is filled while keeping the 4:3 aspect 

ratio intact. This eliminates the distortion present in 

the Full option, but as the image becomes wide 
enough to fit your screen, it pushes some of the 

program content off the top and bottom edges of the 

screen.
