Menu Labeling
When a category or option is selected its label will have a yellow highlight. When a feature is selected, not only will its label be highlighted, but
it will also “point” to the available options that appear in the right hand column. The active option will have a checkmark (✔) beside its title.
(Figure 5.)
Navigating the Menu System
Use the CURSOR keys to navigate through the menu Categories, Features, and Options. The / cursor keys move the highlight to the
left or right. The / cursor keys move the highlight up and down. (The Up and Down keys move the highlight in a continuous loop.)

Aspect Ratio
The aspect ratio of a television picture is the relationship of the
width to the height. The standard Analog aspect ratio is 4:3
(pronounced four to three). The 16:9 aspect ratio appears wider,
more closely resembling a movie theater screen image.
Pix Shape
The image can be viewed in the following on-screen formats:
•
LetterBox – picture image appears with black bars on the top and bottom
of the screen.
•
Cropped – the picture image right and left sides are cut off.
•
Stretch – picture image is horizontally enlarged to fill 16:9 screen
•
Expand – 4:3 setting enlarges the picture image proportionally with minimal
portion of top and bottom cut-off to fill screen.
16:9 setting enlarges the picture image proportionally to fill screen
both vertically and horizontally providing a wide picture format.
These options will depend on the current signal reception and the following
Aspect Ratio setting:
Scan Mode
Interlaced
This is the term given to the dual-field method of scanning. Two separate fields of scan lines are
created and “interlaced” together to produce a picture.
Progressive
Progressive is the term given to sequentially scanned lines (or non-interlaced). This is the
method most commonly used in computer monitors.
NOTE: When receiving an analog signal (NTSC), Normal will be the only option available
for each of the Picture category features.
