I downloaded a pdf of the manual and did a search of it for 'format'.
Nothing other than what appears in the 'picture size' section. The manual
appears to use the terms synonomously. I can make the picture appear in 4:3
format with the black bars on each side of it with no problem. Next time I
have the set on I will measure the picture and see if it is indeed 4x3. My
guess the 4 is a bit smaller than 4 -- just smaller enough to produce the
distortion.
