Check that the TV Aspect Ratio and TV
Display Capability, as set on your set-top,
are appropriate for your TV (see pages 21

If your TV is a 16:9 TV, you can use Auto Pillarbox to add
black borders to 4:3 transmissions, so that the picture is
not stretched (see page 24).
If the TV Aspect Ratio and TV Display Capability settings
are correct, try using Zoom to improve the picture (see
page 32) or consult the instructions that came with your
TV and try adjusting your TV’s display.
