Expand - for non-anamorphic widescreen material. It crops the top and bottom.
Zoom - for 2.35:1 anamorphic video. It crops the sides to fill the screen. Eliminates the black bars on "scope" movies.
Stretched - stretches 4:3 video to fill the screen. Differs from Standard mode in that it does more stretching on the sides than the middle of the picture. You supposedly notice distortion less on this mode than just the straight stretch you would get in Standard mode.
Narrow - for proper display of 4:3 video. Gray bars appear on the sides. This video slowly shifts from right to left to eliminate "burn-in" of the gray bars on the sides.

Ok, so it looks liek this is the mapping between your Mits and my
Toshiba 57HX81:
Mits
Standard = Toshiba
Full
Mits
Zoom = Toshiba
TheaterWide 3
Mits
Expand = Toshiba
TheaterWide 2
Mits
Stretched = Toshiba
TheaterWide 1
Mits
Narrow = Toshiba
Normal
Now according to the picture of
TheaterWIde 2 in my Toshiba manual, basically edges of the image are cropped (due to Zooming) and nothing is
stretched at all. I'll see if I can scan and post pics of the pictures of how the Toshiba video modes work here over the weekend (if I have time).
Peace......
