Using the TV’s Features

Letterbox, Compress

The Letterbox and Compression modes display the wide picture (16:9) with bars at top and bottom. The picture retains its true proportion.

Letterbox (recommended mode):

¥Picture is horizontally stretched, with bars at the top and bottom.

¥Lower picture quality than in the Compression mode because of a reduction in the scanning lines.

¥Slightly lower chance of permanently engraining stationary patterns on the

picture tube than in the Compression mode.

Compression:

¥ Picture is vertically compressed, with bars at the top and bottom.

¥ Better picture quality than in the Letterbox mode because of more effective use of scanning lines.

¥ Greater chance of permanently engraining stationary patterns on the picture tube than in the Letterbox

mode, since there is no raster in the bars at top and bottom.

Note:

You can also change the image shape using the menu system. Select IMAGE SHAPE HD1 or HD2 in the THEATER menu.
