There are black bars on the screen when using a Home Theater System, DVD or Blu-ray player.

BLACK BARS ON TOP / BOTTOM:

Most movies are filmed in a format wider than your TV's 16:9 aspect ratio. Some discs adjust the picture

to eliminate the borders while other discs keep the film's original format.

When the disc's content is in wide-screen format, then black bars are displayed at the top and bottom of

the picture.

Older content is filmed in 4:3 (old TV) format. When playing 4:3 content on your HD TV set, black bars

are displayed on each side of the screen.

To eliminate the side bars, change your TV's FORMAT (aspect) settings. For example, Panasonic TV's

have a format mode called "JUST" which is specially designed to stretch a 4:3 image to fill the screen.

Press the [FORMAT] or [ASPECT] button on the TV remote to remove the black bars from the top and

bottom . The option available to remove the horizontal bars is "Zoom".
