USING PICTURE FORMAT CONTROL

Y

our TV’s wide screen (16:9 aspect ratio)

delivers a home-cinema experience not

possible with a conventional (4:3 aspect
ratio) set. High-definition (HD) programs
originating in 16:9 format and other
widescreen-format video sources appear
more lifelike, dramatic, and theatrical.
Border bars are diminished or eliminated.
Most anamorphic-DVD programs will fill the
wide screen without border bars.

Selecting a Picture Format

Using the Remote Control

Use your TV’s picture-format modes
with video sources you connect to the
ANTENNA, CABLE AV1, AV2, AV3,
AV4, AV5, SIDE inputs on the TV. While
watching a video source—with no
onscreen menu or display present—
press the FORMAT button once to see
the currect mode. Press it again to
change to the next mode.

FORMAT

Picture-format Modes

NATIVE (16:9) is the default for your

DTV because HD programs are broad­cast in this format. Analog channels are
expanded horizontally.

4:3 shows an analog the picture in its
original, conventional (4:3 aspect ratio)
format.

ZOOM expands, or zooms, the picture
both vertically and horizontally, eliminat­ing or reducing the size of border bars.

PANORAMIC stretches the outer por­tions of the picture horizontally.

To prevent uneven picture-tube aging,
do not leave border bars or other sta­tionary images on screen for extended
periods of time.

these color beams must be precisely
aligned. This alignment is called conver-

gence.
NOTE: Allow the TV to warm up for 20

minutes before adjusting convergence.
