ADVANCED REMOTE FEATURES
USING PICTURE FORMAT CONTROL
Y
our TV’s wide screen (16:9 aspect ratio)
delivers a home-cinema experience not
possible with a conventional (4:3 aspect
ratio) set. High-definition (HD) programs
originating in 16:9 format and other
widescreen-format video sources appear
more lifelike, dramatic, and theatrical.
Border bars are diminished or eliminated.
Most anamorphic-DVD programs will fill the
wide screen without border bars.
Selecting a Picture Format
Using the Remote Control
Use your TV’s picture-format modes
with video sources you connect to the
ANTENNA, CABLE AV1, AV2, AV3,
AV4, AV5, SIDE inputs on the TV. While
watching a video source—with no
onscreen menu or display present—
press the FORMAT button once to see
the currect mode. Press it again to
change to the next mode.

Picture-format Modes
NATIVE (16:9) is the default for your
DTV because HD programs are broad-
cast in this format. Analog channels are
expanded horizontally.
4:3 shows an analog the picture in its
original, conventional (4:3 aspect ratio)
format.
ZOOM expands, or zooms, the picture
both vertically and horizontally, eliminat-
ing or reducing the size of border bars.
PANORAMIC stretches the outer por-
tions of the picture horizontally.
To prevent uneven picture-tube aging,
do not leave border bars or other sta-
tionary images on screen for extended
periods of time.
