Aspect ratio

You can use the menu item DISPLAY > FORMAT > ZOOM to select one of several pre-defined aspect ratios.

The menu item USER ZOOM permits you to define your own user aspect ratio. To activate this setting, select the menu item ZOOM and then USER ZOOM.

•Fullscreen

If this setting is selected, the width and height of the picture are adjusted so that the picture always fills the entire screen.

•Video 4:3

This setting displays a PAL 4:3 picture with the correct aspect ratio. Dark bars are visible at the left and right edges of the screen.

•Auto

Wide-screen pictures are automatically displayed so that they fill the screen.

•Video NLS (Non Linear Scaling)

With this setting selected, the width and height of the picture are automatically adjusted to fill the entire screen, but the expansion is not linear. In other words, the centre part of the picture is displayed correctly but the outer parts are expanded to an increasing degree towards the edges of the screen.

•User zoom

With this setting, you can define your own aspect ratio within the range of 40% to 140 % of the original picture size.

•Zoom

Switching manually from the aspect ratio Video 4:3 to zoom expands the picture vertically and horizontally by about 20% more than the fullscreen display. This reduces the dark bars which appear at the top and bottom edges of the screen when watching a widescreen film transmitted in the aspect ratio 4:3.

•Video 16:9

This setting displays a PAL 4:3 picture so that no dark bars are visible at the left and right edges of the screen.

☞You can switch between the various aspect ratios by repeatedly pressing the F key on the remote control.
