Thank you for having the manual I needed for an older model Aiwa stero I had found on Ebay --- I wanted the Aiwa because I had tapes and cd's but I did not have a manual as to how to operate the system... I found what I needed and it has enabled me to set the system up for my enjoyment.
I wished detailed information of the JBL S310 and here I found it! Very happy with the service from this site!

Aspect
This feature will help you adjust the picture you are watching to give you the best possible picture quality.
Aspect Ratios
PANORAMA - With this ratio a normal 4:3 aspect picture is stretched to fit the dimensions of the 16:9 aspect screen. REGULAR - The regular ratio is used when you want to watch a 4:3 broadcast or recorded program without modifying the original picture to fit the dimensions of your 16:9 screen. The 4:3 picture will fill the screen from top to bottom, while gray bars will appear to fill up the remaining space along the picture�s sides. The 4:3 picture will be centered within the boundaries of the 16:9 screen.
CINEMA - This ratio �zooms in� on the center part of a 4:3 aspect picture, blowing it up to fill the 16:9 screen.
FULL - This is the ratio to use when watching 16:9 High-Definition broadcasts.
SLIM - This aspect mode shrinks the screen of 16:9 to 4:3. There are some programming that is already stretched by mistake at broadcasting companies, so this mode corrects it. Gray side bars will appear.
PANORAMA ZOOM - This ratio stretches the High-Definition 16:9 aspect image to eliminate the black side bars.
CINEMA ZOOM - This ratio stretches the High-Definition 16:9 aspect image to eliminate the black surrounding bars.
