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. 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 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.

VIEWING VIDEO WITH THE MENU OPEN
When the on-screen menu opens, it covers the left-hand portion
of the picture. The picture can be displayed in three different
ways:
• Full-sized and centered on the screen (Overlay) - The
left-hand portion of the picture covered by the menu.
• Resized to fit (Viewport) - The entire picture is visible in the
space to the right of the menu.
• Full-sized and aligned to the right edge of the menu
(Centered Overlay) - The picture extends off of the right
side of the screen.
To change the position of the picture while the on-screen menu
is displayed:
1. Use the Arrow buttons on the
remote to highlight
