The On Screen Menus
Your TV has two kinds of menus, the Main menu and the various
Tools menus. The Main menu gives you access to most or all of
the menu options available on your TV. The Tools menus display
a selected number of frequently used menu options that change
depending on the screen you are viewing. A Tools menu symbol
(T) in the lower right side of the screen indicates that a Tools menu
is available.
The Main menu has seven primary categories:
y Picture y Input
y Sound y Application
y Channel y Support
y Setup
To view the Main menu, press the MENU button on your remote. To
view a Tools menu, press the TOOLS button on your remote.
✎ The menu options that appear in the Main menu depend
on the Source you have selected. For example, if you have
selected the HDMI source, the Channel category will not
appear. To see the Channel category, you must first select TV
in the Source List.
The Menu options are presented below, arranged by Main menu
categories. A Tools button symbol (
) next to an option
name indicates the option is also available in one of the Tools
menus.

Size: Set the size and aspect ratio of the picture on the screen.
Your cable box or satellite receiver may have its own set of
screen sizes as well. However, we highly recommend you use
the TV's 16:9 mode most of the time.
16:9: Sets the picture to the 16:9 wide screen format.
Zoom1: Provides moderate magnification of the picture. Sides,
top, and bottom are cut off.
Zoom2: Provides larger magnification of the picture. Sides, top,
and bottom are cut off.
Wide Fit: Enlarges the aspect ratio of the picture so the picture
fits the entire screen.
4:3: Sets the picture to the old, 4:3 format and puts black or gray
borders on the right and left of the picture.
✎ Do not watch your TV in the 4:3 format for a long time.
Traces of borders displayed on the left, right and center of
the screen may cause image retention (screen burn) which
is not covered by the warranty.
Screen Fit: Displays the full image without any cut-off when
your TV is inputting HDMI (720p / 1080i / 1080p) or Component
(1080i / 1080p) HD signals.
✎ HD (High Definition) has a 16:9 aspect ratio and 1080i/1080p
(1920x1080) or 720p (1280x720) resolution.
✎ You can adjust and store settings for each external device you
have connected to an input on the TV. Picture Sizes available
by Input Source are listed above and to the right:
