With a Sanyo LCD TV, users have the ability to modify the default aspect ratio of the picture they view onscreen. This can be useful when watching standard definition (SD) programming that doesn't fit LCD TVs by default. If you see the annoying black bars around the edges of the picture, you can go into your TV's settings and change the aspect ratio manually.
