Aspect
Aspect Ratios
PANORAMA - With this ratio a normal
4:3 aspect picture is stretched to fit the
dimensions of the 16:9 aspect 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.
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.
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. Black side bars will
appear.
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 black 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.
Aspect Ratios in PC Mode
REGULAR - This is the original aspect
mode.
FULL - This aspect mode stretches the
image to fit the dimensions of the 16:9
aspect screen.
