The following are options for down-conversion output: Squeeze (suitable for 16:9 TV): 16:9 HD video is horizontally squeezed to fit 4:3 DV format. When playing back on a 16:9 TV, the image is stretched back horizontally to reproduce the original aspect ratio with high quality. When playing back on a 4:3 TV in normal mode, the image looks horizontally squeezed.Letterbox (suitable for 4:3 TV): Black bands are added on the top and bottom of 16:9 HD video to fit 4:3 DV format. When playing back on a 4:3 TV, the 16:9 image appears on the centre of the screen with the black bands on the top and bottom. On a 16:9 TV, you can display the image in full screen by playing back in zoom mode, but the image has less resolution as it is enlarged.
