When standard-definition content is received and output in a high-definition format, the 
following Screen Mode settings are available:

The Normal setting will display black bars on the left 
and right sides of a 16:9 a screen.

The Stretch setting will horizontally stretch a 4:3 image 
to fill a 16:9 screen.

The Side Stretch setting will stretch the 4:3 image more 
at the sides than in the middle to fill a 16:9 screen and 
produce less distortion in the central area of the image.

The Adjust setting allows the 4:3 image to be adjusted 
in 16 (Adjust 1 - Adjust 16) steps* when viewing the 
full-screen image. This flexible setting may permit the 
best display of certain programs on your display, but is 
cropped on the top and bottom.

Many TVs also have options that allow the screen image to be stretched, cropped, etc.  The above 
illustrations assume that the TV's screen adjustments are in their default or normal mode and that the 
broadcast image is either a standard 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio.
