game consoles can be connected to your TV. To use one of
these devices with your TV, you must first change the input
source using the Input menu.

1. Press the INPUT button on
the remote. The Input menu is
displayed.
2. Use the Up/Down Arrow
buttons or the INPUT button
on the remote to highlight the
input you wish to view and
press OK. The selected input is
displayed.
You change the input names that appear on the
Input menu to make your devices easy to recognize.
See
Renaming Devices on the Input Menu
on page

changing the ScReen aSPect Ratio
The TV can display images in five different modes: Normal,
Stretch, Panoramic, Wide, and Zoom. Each mode displays the
picture differently. See the next page for examples.
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 fill the TV’s screen,
black bars are added to the left
and right of the display image.
• Stretch expands the display image to fill 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 source.
• Panoramic expands the display image to fill 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 fit the screen.
