Set the aspect ratio that matches your TV. Options are Standard 4:3 or
Widescreen 16:9.
Select the resolutions your TV can support so your receiver can pass
the proper signal. To find the resolutions your TV supports, check the
user’s guide that came with your TV. If you select a resolution your
TV doesn’t support, the receiver will reset the setting after a few
seconds.

Screen Format: When a program is broadcast in a format that does
not fit your TV screen, your receiver adjusts the picture size. Options
include Original Format, Pillar Box (Widescreen 16:9 HDTVs only),
Letterbox (Standard 4:3 HDTVs only), Stretch and Crop.
If you’re watching a widescreen movie on a Standard 4:3 TV, you
may want to choose “Letterbox” which places bars on the top and
bottom of the screen. If your HDTV is 4:3 aspect ratio, you may want
to “Crop” or cut off the content at the left and right side of the screen
while preserving the proportion of the picture that remains. You
can also “Stretch” the picture vertically or horizontally to fill up the
screen.
Bar Color: Select the Bar Color option to set the color of the bars
displayed when you view programming in Letterbox or Pillar box
modes.
