That may be the tech-def, but what it really means is that in order to retain the original aspect raio (approx 1.85:1 to 2.35:1) the picture is 'morped to capture the ratio within the confines of a "square" televion. This does not work. It creates an elongated picture, i.e. suddenly the actors or whatever are taller and thinner, done in the name of captureing the essence of the film stock (usally 75mm)while "fitting" it into the tv screen .That is what I object to.
