Input SourceFrom the Main Menu, select Input Source to choose a video signal source.
The active source is indicated by an arrow (Î) to its left; in this example, Composite is the
active source.
Aspect RatioTo change the aspect ratio (size and shape) of the projected image, select Aspect Ratio
from the Main Menu and press ENTER. Select the appropriate aspect ratio for your
screen size and the type of program material being viewed; refer to
Table 4-1.
The currently-selected aspect ratio is indicated by a “7” to its left; in this example, 16:9 is
selected.
Note that some aspect ratios are unavailable and/or not useful with certain types of
source material. The optimal setting depends on a number of factors, such as:
• The aspect ratio of the source material, as broadcast or encoded on the playback
medium.
• The “display type” (16:9 or 4:3) and output resolution settings at the source
component. Most modern DVD/BD players and set-top boxes have such controls.
• Viewer preference (original aspect ratio with “black bars,” or a full-screen presentation
with some distortion or cropping).
