Screen Format

The Screen Format feature allows you to change how the image of a 4:3 picture is displayed on your 16:9 screen. The options are Normal, Cinerama, Zoom or Stretch. If your TV receives an image with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the image can be displayed in one of four ways:

Normal The image of a 4:3 video signal is centered with bars on the right and left sides of the screen.

Cinerama The image of a 4:3 video signal is centered, expanding in the horizontal direction to fill the display with little distortion.

Stretch The image of a 4:3 video signal is stretched horizontally by approximately 33% while the vertical size stays the same.

Zoom The image of a 4:3 video signal increases by approximately 33% and the vertical size increases by approximately 33%. Edges of the image might be cropped.

Note: When recording from the AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUT jacks, use Normal or Stretch to record the video closest to its original format.

Turn on Automatic Format Switching so that as you change channels, the TV will change formats for you.

Notes: There is no ability provided to change the screen format for a 16:9 video signal since it fills up the entire area of the TV’s screen.

The format of some video cannot be changed even though it appears to be a 4:3 aspect-ratio picture.

The FORMAT button on the remote lets you change the format with a one-button press rather than navigating to the Screen Format menu.
