our TV is able to deliver
lifelike, widescreen picture (or
“home cinema” experience) that is
promised with High Definition TV
viewing. The Analog Format
control can be used to expand
conventional 4:3 aspect ratio
(width-to-height) broadcasts in
order to fit your TV’s widescreen
format; or to reset the screen to
best match the current
programming.
Select ANALOG FORMAT
control.
With the FEATURES MENU on
screen, move the RED highlight
with the outer OK arrow
buttons. Then press the center OK
button to select the feature.
Press the OK arrow

SMART HELP
Note: In the past the
relationship between a TV
screen’s width to height, or aspect
ratio, has historically been 33%
wider than the picture screen
height (or a 4:3 aspect ratio). The
widescreen format of your TV
screen is nearly 80% greater than
its measure height (which
accounts for a 16:9 aspect ratio).
The reason for the 16:9 aspect
ratio screen is that it allows for the
dramatic and lifelike viewing of
original version movies and
cinemas (similar to the type found
in your local theaters). And the
16:9 aspect ratio widescreen is
also a good visual match for how
our eyes work in a horizontally
oriented field of view and action
plane.
Panoramic - Conventional
picture is expanded to fill the
full 16:9 aspect ratio screen
area. Most of the non-linear
picture expansion is
performed toward the outer
edges so that correct
proportions are retained in the
center of the screen.
4:3 (Standard) -
Conventional TV picture
format shows on the screen.
Black bar areas show on the
side margins of the screen.
16:9 (Expand) - Full
widescreen mode with linear
expansion to view HD
program broadcasts. Used for
material originally produced
in 16:9 format.
Theater 1/2 - Expanded zoom
modes with picture images
increased in magnification.
Designed for use with
“letterbox” or cropped movie
images such as found with
Cinemascope or Cinerama
type program material.
Note: With the Theater modes
there can be some loss of
information at the edges as the
picture expands to fill the
screen.
