Setting the picture size

You can view 480i format programs in three picture sizes—4:3, 16:9, and ZOOM.

You can change the picture size by pressing the PICTURE SIZE button on the remote control.

•If receiving an analog signal, you can choose 4:3 or 16:9 picture size.•If receiving a digital signal of 4:3, you can choose 4:3 picture size only.•If receiving a digital signal of 16:9, you can choose 4:3, 16:9, or ZOOM.

ZOOM

4:3 picture size

To fill the screen, the top and bottom edges are extended more widely, although the center of the picture remains near the former ratio.

If receiving a 4:3 format program, the image is displayed in its originally formatted proportion.

16:9 picture size

This image displays the size of standard 16:9 with black bars at the top and bottom.

If receiving a 4:3 format program, the image is displayed with black bars at the top and bottom and stretched wider.

Note:

If a fixed black bar remains on the screen for long periods of time, the image can become permanently engrained in the screen and cause subtle but permanent ghost images. Never leave your television on for long periods of time while it is displaying these images.

ZOOM picture size (for 16:9 format programs)

The entire picture is uniformly enlarged—it is stretched the same amount both wider and taller (retains its original proportion). The right and left edges of the picture may be hidden.
