4:3 presentation modes are the wrong way around!

I discovered that two of the settings for how 4:3 content is presented on a 16:9 screen are swapped the wrong away around!
In Menu > Setup > AV Setup > AV Settings > Display 4:3 content as has these options:
Pan & Scan - this should zoom in to fill the 16:9 screen, cropping the top and bottom of the 4:3 image, but it shows 4:3 content pillarboxed
Pillarbox - this should show 4:3 content in full and original aspect ratio, with black bars either side - but in fact it does the Pan&Scan above
Just scale - stretches 4:3 content horizontally to fill the screen destroying the aspect ratio (yuk)
Auto - same as above
So “Pan & Scan” and “Pillarbox” labels should be swapped around.
Just sayin’
