CHANGING THE SCREEN ASPECT RATIO
The TV can display images in ve dierent modes: Normal,
Stretch, Panoramic, Wide, and Zoom. Each mode displays the
picture dierently. See
Adjusting the Wide Mode (Aspect Ratio) on
page 45
for an alternate way of adjusting the screen aspect ratio.
To change the screen aspect ratio:
1. Press the
button on the remote.
2. Use the Arrow buttons to
highlight the aspect ratio you
wish to view and press OK.
• Normal preserves the content’s
original aspect ratio. Since the 4:3
aspect ratio is not large enough to
ll the TV’s screen, black bars are
added to the left and right of the
display image.
• Stretch expands the display image to ll the screen. Images
may appear wider than intended. If you are watching
widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content, black bars will still
appear on the top and bottom of the display image. This
option is only available when the TV is displaying a
720p/1080i/1080p source.
• Panoramic expands the display image to ll the screen.
Images may appear wider than intended. If you are watching
widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content, black bars will still
appear on the top and bottom of the display image. This
option is only available when the TV is displaying a
480i/480p source.
• Wide stretches a 4:3 aspect ratio picture to the edges of the
screen. Since the picture is being stretched, the display image
may appear distorted. If the program is already formatted
for widescreen viewing (1.85:1 or 2.35:1), then black bars will
appear on the top and bottom of the display image.
• Zoom expands images with black bars to t the screen.
