Black bands appear at the edges of the screen.
Some wide screen programs are filmed in aspect ratios that are greater than 16:9 (this is especially common with
theatrical releases). Your TV will show these programs with black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. For more
details, check the documentation that came with your DVD (or contact your program provider).
Programs in 4:3 aspect ratio will have bands on the left and right sides of the screen.
Programs broadcasted in HD formats (720p and 1080i) with 4:3 content will commonly have black bands on the left and
right sides of the screen which are added by the broadcaster.
[Auto wide] in [Screen] will not expand the picture when the black bands on the sides of the screen are added by the
broadcaster. You can manually set [Wide mode] to [Wide zoom] or [Zoom], which will remain in effect until you change
the channel/input or manually change the [Wide mode] setting again.
Some cable and satellite set-top boxes can also control the size of the picture. If you are using a set-top box, refer to
the manufacturer of the set-top box for more information.
