(A 149).

Options
Operating modes:
[Letterbox]: The picture is reduced in size while maintaining the aspect ratio
and black letterbox bars are added to the top and bottom of
the image so that the picture has a 4:3 aspect ratio.
[Squeeze]: The image is squeezed from the left and right so that the entire
image fits within the screen. The image will appear normal if the
external monitor also has a 16:9 aspect ratio.
[Side Crop]: The left and right sides of the image are cropped so that the
central part of the image fits within the screen.
