This is a 16:9 widescreen TV suitable for images available from HDTV and many DVDs. You can view older-style, squar- ish images (4:3 aspect ratio) using one of the display formats described on this page. Press the MORE key and then the

0key (FORMAT) to cycle through available display formats. The TV remembers the format you last used for each input.

DVD Image Definitions

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

Anamorphic (or Enhanced for WideScreen TV) Indicates DVDs recorded to show widescreen images prop- erly on 16:9 TV sets using the TV’s Standard format mode (recommended).

Non-Anamorphic (or 4:3, 1.33:1, Letter Box, or Full Screen)

Indicates 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.
