TV Signals and Display Formats

This is a 16:9 widescreen TV suitable for images avail- able from HDTV and many DVDs. You can view older- style squarish images (4:3 aspect ratio) using one of the display formats described on this page. Press the FORMAT key to cycle through the available display formats. The TV remembers the format you last used for each device.

DVD Image Definitions

Image information may be stated on the DVD case. Some DVDs support both formats.

Anamorphic (or Enhanced for WideScreen TV) DVDs recorded to properly show widescreen images on 16:9 TV sets using the Standard format mode (recom- mended).

Non-Anamorphic (or 4:3, 1:33:1, Letter Box, or Full Screen)

DVDs recorded for viewing on squarish TV screens. They may be full screen (4:3 or 1:33:1) which crops movies to fit the narrow TV, or letter box, which adds black top and bottom bars.

Signal Definitions

480i: Traditional interlaced signals from ANT-1and ANT 2, INPUT 1–3, COMPONENT and HDMI jacks.

480p: Progressive-scan DVD signals on COMPONENT and HDMI jacks.

720p and 1080i: High-definition signals received through COMPONENT and HDMI jacks. These signals are always 16:9 (widescreen).

SD 4:3: Standard-definition squarish-screen-format signals from digital channels on ANT 1 and ANT 2.

SD 16:9: Standard-definition widescreen-format signals from digital channels on ANT 1 and ANT 2.

HD: High-definition 16:9 widescreen signals from digital channels on ANT 1 and ANT 2.

TV Display Format Definitions

Standard: This is the full-screen format used by HDTV signals. Use this format to display anamorphic DVDs with a 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 aspect ratio. Anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio are displayed correctly but with top and bottom black bars. Narrow (4:3) images are stretched evenly from side to side. Available for all signals.

Expand: Enlarges the picture to fill the screen by cropping the top and bottom; useful for reducing the letter box top and bottom bars of non-anamorphic DVD images.

Zoom: Enlarges the picture to fill the screen by cropping the sides, top, and bottom; useful for removing or reducing the black top and bottom bars on anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio.

Stretch: Stretches a narrow 4:3 image across the screen to display the entire image with less distortion than the Standard format.

Stretch Plus: Similar to Stretch, but minimizes distortion on the sides by expanding the picture to crop off portions of the top and bottom. Unless displaying

a menu, press to adjust the vertical position of the picture.

Narrow: Displays narrow 4:3 images in their original shape. Adds black side bars to fill the screen.

Wide Expand: Enlarges the picture, cropping the image on both sides. Removes or reduces black side bars added to narrow images converted to 16:9 signals for digital broadcast.

Note: All high-definition channels send widescreen (16:9) signals, but not all such programming was created for this format. The broadcaster may stretch the image or add side bars to fill the widescreen area.
