ZOOM function
You can change the screen size according to the picture aspect ratio. Choose the optimum one from the following ZOOM modes.
•The ZOOM mode is fixed at FULL when you are using the TV as a PC screen.
AUTO:
When a WSS (Wide Screen Signalling) signal, which shows the aspect ratio of the picture, is included in the broadcast signal or the signal from an external device, the TV automatically changes the ZOOM mode to 16:9 ZOOM mode or FULL mode according to the WSS signal.
If a WSS signal is not included, the picture is displayed according to the ZOOM mode set with the 4:3 AUTO ASPECT function.
16:9 ZOOM:
This zooms up the wide picture (16:9 aspect ratio) to the full screen.
16:9 ZOOM SUBTITLE:
This zooms up the wide picture (16:9 aspect ratio) with subtitles to the full screen.
FULL:
This uniformly stretches the left and right sides of a normal picture (4:3 aspect ratio) to fill the wide TV screen.
