| Position—Sets the position of the PIP window on the main screen. |
| Size—Sets the size of the PIP window. |
| Transparency—Sets the transparency of the PIP window. The PIP window can be from almost transparent |
| to completely opaque. When the PIP window is transparent, you are able to see through the PIP video |
| display to your Windows desktop, which makes it easier to access your computer programs while watching |
| video. |
| Swap—Switches the PIP image to the main image, and the main image to the PIP image. |
| PIP Picture—Opens a menu where you can set the PIP brightness, contrast, saturation, and tint/hue. |
Video Adjust menu | Unless otherwise indicated, these settings apply only to SD (standard definition) video at 480i and below. |
| Where “PC input” is indicated, the resolutions that apply are from 800 × 600 to 1920 × 1200. |
| Sharpness—Adjusts sharpness for video images. |
| Video Scaling—Sets video aspect ratios and scaling between Wide, Zoom, 1:1, and Panoramic modes. |
| PC input: Sets resolution aspect ratios and scaling between Wide, Zoom, and 1:1. |
| Wide mode stretches a standard broadcast or full-frame image to fill the entire | | | | |
| | | | |
| screen. Widescreen (1.76:1) images fill the entire screen without distortion, while | | | | |
| widescreen (1.85:1 and 2.35:1) images appear without distortion but with black | | | | |
| bars at the top and bottom. PC input: Stretches the image to fit the entire screen. | | | | |
| | | | | | |
| Zoom mode crops off a portion of a widescreen image in order to fill the entire | | | |
| | | |
| screen with a distortion-free and black bar-free image. PC input: Zooms the | | | |
| image to fill the screen from top to bottom with black bars on the left and right | | | |
| sides of the image. | | | |
| | | | | |
| 1:1 mode preserves the movie’s original aspect ratio, so a standard broadcast or | | |
| | |
| full-frame movie appears with black bars on the left and right of the image. PC input: | | |
| Preserves the original aspect ratio of the resolution by using black bars on the left and | | |
| right sides and variable sizes of black bars on the top and bottom of the image | | |
| (depends on resolution). | | |
| Panoramic mode uses selective distortion to stretch a standard broadcast or | | | |
| | | | | |
| full-frame image to fill the entire screen. Unlike Wide mode, Panoramic mode | | | |
| stretches only the left and right sides of the image, and leaves the center of the | | | |
| image distortion free. | | | |
| | | | |
| Overscan—A video signal is often displayed slightly cut off at all edges. If Overscan is turned off, you may |
| notice strange video anomalies on the edges of the video being displayed. This is normal and is part of |
| the data embedded in any video signal. To avoid seeing these anomalies, turn Overscan on. |
