HOW TO USE THE REMOTE CONTROL TO CONTROL YOUR TV

ASPECT button

Press this button to quickly change the picture format ASPECT ratio.

Depending on the input signal, the picture format ratio allows you to adjust the images through the following options.

4:3	Standard	Use this aspect mode to display conventional (4:3) images. Side panels (gray areas) are placed to the
		left and right of the image to preserve the original aspect ratio of the source. Note: Use this mode for
		only 15% of your total viewing time to prevent uneven aging of the phosphors. Phosphors in the lighted
		area of the picture will age more rapidly than the black areas.
4:3	Expanded	use this aspect mode to display conventional (4:3) sources by expanding the outer edges of the image
		to fill the 16:9 screen. The center of the image remains unaltered.
4:3	Zoom1/Zoom2	Use these aspect modes to zoom in on conventional (4:3) sources.
16:9 Standard		Use this aspect mode to display 16:9 sources like HDTV and DVD’s preserving the original 16:9 aspect
		ratio.
16:9 Zoom		Use this aspect mode to zoom 16:9 images.
