Chapter 5: Using the TV’s features
Selecting the picture size
You can view many program formats in a variety of picture
sizes—Natural, TheaterWide 1, TheaterWide 2,
TheaterWide 3, and Full.
Note: The “picture size” illustrations are examples only. The
format of the image (in any of the picture sizes) will vary
depending on the format of the signal you are currently
watching. Select the picture size that displays the current
program the way that looks best to you.
Your picture size preferences can be saved for each input on
your TV.
To select the picture size:
1 Press I on the remote control.
2 While the Picture Size screen is open, press the
corresponding number button (0–4) to select the desired
picture size.
Note:
• You also can repeatedly press I to select the desired
picture size (or press Bb on the remote control while the
Picture Size screen is open).
• Full may not be available for some program formats (it will
be “grayed out” in the Picture Size screen).
• You also can select the picture size using the menu system.
Select Picture Size in the Theater Settings menu. Select
the input for which you want to save your picture settings. To
save your settings, highlight Done and press T.
Natural picture size
• The image is displayed close to its originally formatted
proportion. Some program formats will display with
sidebars and/or bars at the top and bottom.
TheaterWide 1 picture size (for 4:3 format programs)
• The center of the picture remains close to its original
proportion, but the left and right edges are stretched wider to
fill the screen.
TheaterWide 2 picture size (for letter box programs)
• The picture is stretched wider to fill the width of the screen,
but only slightly stretched taller.
• The top and bottom edges of the picture are hidden. To view
the hidden areas, see “Scrolling the TheaterWide
®
picture”
on the next page.
