Remote Control Functions:
Note: Not all formats are available for PIP/POP.
Standard: This is the full screen format. HDTV
signals will automatically 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, but will show the entire image correctly.
Narrow (4:3) images will be stretched evenly from
side to side. Available for all signals.
Expand: This will enlarge the picture to ll the
screen, cropping off some of the image at the 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. Available for
480i and digital SD 4:3 signals only.
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, Mitsubishi offers several
display formats to choose from.
Press FORMAT on the TV remote control to cycle
through the available display formats.
Last used format for each device will be used when
you return to that device.
Caution should be observed when using
the Narrow format due to the stationary
gray side bars. Please see guidelines
concerning stationary images, page 70.

Zoom: This will enlarge the picture, cropping
off some of the image at each side and top and
bottom. This is useful to remove or reduce the
black top and bottom bars on anamorphic DVDs
with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Available for 480i
signals only.
Stretched: 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. Available for 480i signals
only.
Narrow: This format will display narrow (4:3)
images in their original shape, and add stationary
gray side bars to ll the screen. Available for 480i,
480p and digital standard 4:3 signals only.
Denitions:
Anamorphic - (also listed as “Enhanced for
Widescreen TVs) These DVDs are recorded in a
special way to properly show high-resolution images
on 16:9 TV sets in the standard mode.
Non-Anamorphic (also listed as 4:3, 1:33:1,
Letterbox or Full Screen) These DVDs are recorded
for use with traditional shaped TVs. They may be
full screen (on 4:3 or 1:33:1) which crops movies to
t the narrow TV, or Letterboxed which adds black
top and bottom bars.
This information may or may not be listed on the
DVD case. Some DVDs support both types of
recordings.
