Adjust Screen Shape and Aspect Ratio
High Definition and Standard Definition signals are transmitted with different aspect ratios
(the width-to-height shape of the image). Most HD signals use a widescreen aspect ratio of
16:9. Most SD signals use a boxy 4:3 aspect ratio. The 16:9 aspect ratio looks perfect on your
BRAVIA™, but a 4:3 image must be adjusted to look right. You can:
