Part IV: Operation
Remote Control Functions: Display Formats
This is a wide screen TV (also known as
a 16:9 TV). This shape reects the new
types of images available from HDTV and
many DVDs. There are still many older style
narrow screen images (called 4:3 aspect
ratio) you will encounter. While there will
never be a perfect solution for displaying
a narrow image on a wide screen, Mitsubi-
shi offers several display formats to choose
from.
Press FORMAT on the TV remote control
to cycle through the ve available display
formats.
1
Standard (Default format for DTV, Inputs
1-4, and Component inputs): This is the full
screen format. HDTV signals will auto-
matically use this format. This format is
also useful to display Anamorphic DVDs
that have 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 aspect ratios.
Anamorphic DVDs that have the 2.35:1
aspect ratio will still display black bars
at the top and bottom. Narrow (4:3)
images will be stretched evenly from
side to side.
2
Expand: This will enlarge the picture,
cropping off some of the image at the
sides, and top and bottom. This is
useful to reduce the letterbox top and
bottom bars of non-anamorphic DVDs or
to correct narrow (4:3) images that have
been stretched in the Standard format.
3
Zoom: This will enlarge the picture, crop-
ping off some of the image at each side.
This is useful to remove or reduce the
black top and bottom bars on anamor-
phic DVDs with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio.
4
Stretched
(Default format for ANT-A and ANT-B) :
(Not available when viewing 480p sig-
nals) This format will stretch a narrow
(4:3) image across the screen, however,
there is less stretch in the center than
the sides. This will allow the entire
narrow image to be displayed across the
screen with less distortion than seen in
the Standard format.
5
Narrow: This format will display narrow
(4:3) images in their original shape, and
add stationary gray side bars to ll the
screen.
Display Formats
When displaying HDTV (1080i) signals,
the FORMAT control will not operate. All
HD signals will automaticaly be shown
using the Standard format , and will ll
the screen.
Stretched and Zoom formats are not
available during PIP/POP functions.
Caution should be observed when using
the Narrow format due to the stationary
gray side bars. Please see pages 23 or
62 for guidelines concerning stationary
images.
