Using Screen Mode (32/36 models only)

The Screen Mode feature is useful when a 480i signal has been upconverted to a 720p or 1080i signal, which results in undesirable “black bars” appearing on all four sides of the picture. Using the Screen Mode feature, you can enlarge these pictures, minimizing the size of the black bars.
