You can change the Wide Screen Mode manually
with the WIDE MODE button. When the antenna
reception is low, or the picture is too dark, the Auto
Wide function may not work properly. In this case,
set the Wide Screen Mode manually.
Press WIDE MODE repeatedly until the desired
Wide Screen Mode appears.
Pressing the WIDE MODE button once lets the TV
select the best Wide Screen Mode, and the selected
Wide Screen Mode appears.* Each time you press
the button, Wide Screen Mode changes as follows.
For details on Wide Screen Mode, see page 26.
* When “Auto Wide” in the (Screen Control) menu is set to
“Mode2,” and the “4:3 Default” is set to “Normal” (page 28),
the picture remains 4:3 aspect ratio (“Normal”).
Tip
Set “Auto Wide” to “Off” when changing the Wide Screen
Mode manually (See page 28).
