Watching the CINEMA Mode

Viewing Standard 4x3 Broadcasts

Standard television is broadcast in a 4x3 aspect ratio, which is 4 units

wide by 3 units, high. Your TV has a wide 16x9 aspect ratio, 16 units wide by 9 units high. Because of this, standard television broadcasts will appear on your TV with black bars on the left and right sides of the screen, as shown at the right.

When watching standard 4x3 broadcasts, there are three ways to fill the TVs 16x9 screen:

1. Use the Cinema Controls shown below.

2. Use the Split Screen feature shown on page 18.

3. Use the Picture-Outside-Picture feature shown on page 19.

causes bot]h standard 4x3 broadcasts and letterboxed material to appear stretched across the screen. Primarily intended for use

with "squeezed" video sources such as some 16x9 camcorders. Other sources of squeezed video could become available in the

future.

Pan:

Brings up the Pan Controls Menu (shown at the right) which enables you to pan around the screen to watch those areas of the

picture that may have been cut off by using Cinema A, B, or C. Reposition the image to suit your viewing preferences. For exam-

Letterbox

Widescreen letterbox movies show the original theatre screen dimen- sions with black bars at the top and bottom of the picture. The size of

the bars varies from movie to movie. Your TV is ideal for watching let-

terbox movies because you can use the Cinema Controls to expand the

letterboxed iraage, fill the screen and reduce or eliminate letterbox bars.

New Water-based Paints to Maintain our Natural Resouces

Thomson Consumer Electronics is one of the first corporations to take part in a special pro-

gram to improve our environment. Thomson has committed itself to a voluntary initiative program through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Thomson's involvement includes a concen- trated effort to phase in new water-based paints to replace solvent-based paints normal-

ly used in our manufacturing operations. The key benefit of these new paints is to signifi- cantly reduce air pollution.

If your TV needs service, please contact your

dealer or nearest servicenter. Please do not send any products to the Indianapolis address

listed below or on the box. This only adds

delays for service of your TV. See how you can

receive service on page 51.

Thomson Consumer Electronics remains com- mitted to improving our manufacturing

process through changes like these to help our environment.

At Thomson, on-going efforts to maintain our

valuable natural resources will continue to be

a priority.
