added to the left and right of the display image. Standard TV broadcasts are
displayed with a 4:3 Aspect Ratio, Movies in 4:3 Aspect Ratio may be referred
to as pan-and-scan or full frame. These movies were originally filmed in 16:9
(widescreen), and then modified to fit a traditional TV screen (4:3).

When watching a widescreen (1.78:1 source) program or movie, the
display image fills the TV screen. If you are watching a widescreen
(1.85:1 or 2.35:1 source) program or movie, there will still be black
bars at the top and bottom.

When watching a widescreen (1.78:1, 1.85:1, or 2.35:1 source)

movies with sub-titles.
