Display Formats

This is a widescreen TV (also known as a 16:9 TV). This shape reflects the new types of images available from HDTV and many DVDs. There are still many older style narrow screen images (called 4:3 aspect ratio) you will encounter. While there will never be a perfect solution for displaying a narrow image on a wide screen, Mitsubishi offers several display formats to choose from.

Press FORMAT on the TV remote control to cycle through the available display formats. The last used format for each device will be used when you return to that device.

Note: Not all formats are available for PIP/POP. Side-by-Side, 3 POP and 9 POP are only available in Standard and Expand formats.

Format Signals:

480i Signals: Traditional analog interlaced signals from or through Ant-1 & 2, Inputs 1, 2 & 3, and Component 1 & 2.

480p Signals: Progressive scan analog DVD signals through signals on Component-1 & 2.

1080i Signals: High definition analog signals received through signals on Component-1 & 2.

SD 4:3: Standard definition narrow screen format signals from digital channels and IEEE 1394 devices.

SD 16:9: Standard definition wide screen format signals from digital channels and IEEE 1394 devices.

the screen with less distortion than seen in the Standard format. Available for analog 480i and 480p and SD 4:3 signals only.

Stretch Plus: Similar to stretch mode, however to minimize distortions on the side, the picture is expanded to crop off portions of the top and bottom. Useful when no important information is shown at the top and/or bottom of the screen. Available for analog 480i and 480p and SD 4:3 signals only.

Narrow: Displays narrow (4:3) images in their original shape, and adds stationary black side bars to fill the screen. Available for 480i, 480p and digital SD 4:3 signals only.

Wide Expand: Enlarges the picture, cropping some of the image on both sides. Useful for removing or reducing black side bars on HD broadcasts of 720p, converted to 4:3 images with black bars. Available for analog 1080i, digital SD 16:9 and digital HD signals.

HD: High definition wide screen format signals from digital channels and IEEE-1394 devices.

Format Definitions:

Standard: Full screen format used by HDTV signals. Also useful when displaying 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 aspect ratio Anamorphic DVDs. Anamorphic DVDs that have a 2.35:1 aspect ratio will still display black bars at the top and bottom, but will show the entire image correctly. Narrow (4:3) images will be stretched evenly from side to side. Available for all signals.

Expand: Enlarge the picture to fill the screen, cropping off some of the image at the top and bottom. Useful for reducing the letterbox top and bottom bars of non- anamorphic DVD. Available for analog 480i, 480p and digital SD 4:3 signals only.

DVD Definitions:

Anamorphic (or “Enhanced for Widescreen TV’s): These DVDs are recorded in a special way to properly show widescreen images on 16:9 TV sets in the Standard format mode. This is the recommended choice.

Non-Anamorphic (or 4:3, 1:33:1, Letterbox or Full Screen):

These DVDs are recorded for use with traditional shaped TVs. They may be full screen (4:3 or 1:33:1) which crops movies to fit the narrow TV, or Letterboxed which adds black top and bottom bars.

This information may or may not be listed on the DVD case. Some DVDs support both types of recordings.

Zoom: Enlarges the picture, cropping off some of the image at each side and top and bottom. Useful for removing or reducing the black top and bottom bars on anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Available for analog 480i and 480p and SD 4:3 signals only.

Stretch: Stretches a narrow (4:3) image across the screen, with less stretch in the center than the sides. Allows the entire narrow image to be displayed across

IMPORTANT

Caution should be observed when using the Narrow format due to the stationary gray side bars. Please see guidelines concerning stationary images, page 54.
