4.18 Understanding Viewing Modes

Normal Mode

The original 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 source) is preserved, so black bars are added to the left and right of the display image. Standard TV broadcasts are displayed with a 4:3 Aspect Ratio. Movies in 4:3 Aspect Ratio may be referred to as pan-and-scan or full frame. These movies were originally filmed in 16:9 (widescreen), and then modified to fit a traditional TV screen (4:3).

Wide Mode

When watching a standard broadcast or full-frame movie in this mode, the display image is stretched proportionately to fill the TV screen.

When watching a widescreen (1.78:1 source) program or movie, the display image fills the TV screen. If you are watching a widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1 source) program or movie, there will still be black bars at the top and bottom.

When watching a standard definition 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 source) the picture will fill the screen but will be stretched horizontally; people will look fatter than they are.

Zoom Mode

When watching a widescreen (1.78:1, 1.85:1, or 2.35:1 source) program or movie, the display image is zoomed proportionally to fill the width of the screen. The top and bottom are cut off to remove most of the source material’s black bars. This mode is good for programs or movies with sub-titles.

Panoramic Mode

When watching a standard broadcast or full frame movie in this mode, the 4:3 Aspect Ratio (1.33:1 source) display image is stretched horizontally on the left and right sides to fill the TV screen. The center of the image is not stretched.

Note: Viewing modes are saved based on input. For example, you lasted watched a DVD in widescreen mode and then watched TV in standard mode. When you switch back to DVD input, the viewing mode will return to widescreen.
