Black Side Panel
The BLACK SIDE PANEL function turns the gray side bars on/off when watching 4:3 signals in Standard mode.
The top/bottom gray bar will appear in SPLIT MODE PIP and SPLIT FREEZE. The TV set will always return to “Set
Black Side Panel - OFF” setting every time the TV is powered “OFF”.
NOTE: To maximize operating life of the TV’s picture tubes when watching 4:3 signal, Black Side Panel is
cancelled at Power OFF. It is recommended to watch 4:3 signal with gray side bar.
Virtual HD
Use this feature to quickly change the scanning mode from 540p (progressive scanning) to 1080i (interlace
scanning).
When images from film are processed for broadcast to your home, picture noise or distortion can occur. Virtual
HDTM technology reduces this noise to a minimum, recreating the smooth curves and high fidelity image of the
original film source.
NOTE: VIRTUAL HD is not available (grayed out) in Digital Channels, 1080i input, HDMI and components.
