Aspect Ratio

Aspect Ratio provides selection of one of four aspect ratios: Anamorphic, Standard 4:3, Letterbox or VirtualWide. To select an aspect ratio via the main menu, press either the up and down buttons on the remote or front panel, highlight ASPECT RATIO and press ENTER. The aspect ratio menu will then appear with the four choices; highlight the desired aspect ratio with the up or down buttons and press ENTER. Otherwise, you may select an aspect ratio by pressing either the up or down arrow buttons (on the remote or front panel) when no menus are on-screen, or by pressing one of the direct access buttons on the remote control.

Picture quality adjustments are the controls that change different parameters of the image such as the amount of color, black level, etc. While these adjustments can be set to suit the needs of the user, there is a way to set these properly. This section will describe what each function does and how to adjust them properly.

To access the picture quality adjustments, press MENU and over the cursor down to Picture (indicated by the green highlight) and press ENTER. The picture quality sub-menu will then appear.

To make an adjustment to a particular function, highlight the function with the up or down arrow buttons and press ENTER. Once the function is on-screen (i.e. brightness), pressing the UP arrow button on the remote or front panel will increase the value of that function; pressing the DOWN arrow on the remote or front panel will decrease the value of that function.
