10.6. Widescreen
TV sets are available with screens of the standard (4:3) format and widescreen
(16:9) format. When you first installed your DVB-T receiver you specified the
format of the connected TV (this can now be altered if necessary; see
Section 11 –
DVB-T Advanced operation -
Configuring Your Receiver).
Digital terrestrial television broadcasts are also made in both standard and
widescreen formats. In particular, films and dramas tend to be broadcast in
widescreen format to closer emulate the cinema experience, but even some news
bulletins are widescreen. To help get the most from both TV set and programme
when a widescreen film is watched on a standard TV, or a standard broadcast is
viewed on a widescreen set, the DVB-T receiver includes the [WIDE] key.
So long as the receiver has been correctly set up for the TV set connected, a
widescreen programme will always be displayed correctly on a widescreen set,
and a standard format programme will correctly fill the screen of a standard format
TV. With a widescreen TV set displaying a standard format programme, the
[WIDE] keys witches between displaying the picture with black bars down the
sides, and enlarging the picture so that it fills the whole width of the screen but the
top and bottom are cropped off.
With a standard format TV displaying a widescreen programme, the [WIDE] keys
witches between displaying the picture with black bars at the top and bottom of
the screen, and filling the whole height of the screen but cropping the sides off
according to instructions broadcast with the programme (called 'pan and
scan').The effect of the [WIDE] key on the picture display is cancelled by pressing
[WIDE] again, changing channel or turning the receiver to standby.
