of the screen. Since the picture is being stretched, the 
display image may appear distorted. If the program 
is already formatted for widescreen viewing (1.85:1 or 
2.35:1), then black bars will appear on the top and 
bottom of the display image.
•  Zoom  expands images with black bars to fit the screen.
•  Panoramic  expands the display image to fill the screen. 
Images may appear wider than intended. If you are 
watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content, black
