Picture format
The broadcaster may transmit a Wide Screen Signalling (WSS) signal which can determine the correct picture width and set it automatically when the AUTO setting is used. If you want to change this setting, you can select from the formats listed below.
AUTO
Press PICTURE SIZE repeatedly until AUTO appears. See above Note.
Manual format setting
Pressing PICTURE SIZE repeatedly scrolls through the following options.
4:3

FULL SCREEN
Stretches the left and right hand sides of a 4:3 picture horizontally to fill the screen, while leaving the centre of the picture unstretched.

•In PC mode, the PICTURE SIZE feature is available only for 16:9 or 4:3 format. (In “WXGA INPUT” and “WVGA INPUT” mode, the PICTURE SIZE feature is not available.)
•In HDMI or COMPONENT mode of scanning rate: 720p and 1080i, the PICTURE SIZE feature is available only for AUTO and CINEMA format.

Note:
In this mode the picture is geometrically distorted on the left and the right sides of the screen.
16:9
This mode is used with 16:9 signals from a Digital decoder, DVD player or other external source. This uniformly stretches a 4:3 image horizontally to fill the screen (For example, a 16:9 image is often stored “anamorphically” on a DVD, where the 16:9 image is stored as a horizontally compressed 4:3 image - this mode restores the image to its correct 16:9 proportions).
