ENGLISH 12-0697
We recommend that you connect
the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT jack
to your TV’s HDMI 1 ARC jack.
In the following situations, the
HDMI cable routes Dolby Digital
audio to the AV receiver, so you do
not need to connect a separate
digital audio cable:
• When you have a game console
connected to one of your TV’s HDMI
jacks.
• When you watch a program
through an antenna or cable
TV connected to the ANT / CABLE
jack.
Normal:
Displays the original 4:3 aspect ratio with vertical black bars on the left
and right hand side of the screen.
Zoom:
Expands the image to ll the screen. The top and bottom of the
image may be cropped.
Wide:
Use this option to view content recorded in a 16:9 (wide-screen) aspect ratio.
Cinema:
Stretches the image at the edges, but keeps a clear image in the center.
Auto:
Automatically adjusts the image based on the screen size and the TV
program. Note: Auto is only available when Auto Zoom in the
CHANNELS menu is set to On.
Aspect ratio options
