Using the Screen Mode Feature
The Screen Mode feature is useful for adjusting a 16:9 (widescreen) program for optimal
viewing on your TV’s 4:3 aspect ratio screen. Using the Screen Mode feature, you can enlarge
pictures so that they better fill the screen (enlarging the picture so that the black bars on the
edges of the screen are clipped off).
Before using the Screen Mode feature
❏ If the TV is in analog tuning mode, press the button to switch to digital tuning mode.
✍ The Screen Mode option is available only for digital 16:9 programming.
Example Description

original aspect ratio. If the program
was a 480i 4:3 program that was
upconverted to 720p or 1080i (as
shown at left) , there will be black bars
visible at the left, right, top, and
bottom sides.
