Remote control buttons and functions
ZOOM function
You can change the screen size according to the picture aspect ratio. Choose the optimum one from the following ZOOM modes.
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 in accordance with the ZOOM mode set with the 4:3 AUTO ASPECT function.
•For details of the 4:3 AUTO ASPECT function, see “4:3 AUTO ASPECT” on page 20.
•When the AUTO (WSS) mode does not function correctly due to poor WSS signal quality or when you want to change the ZOOM mode, press the c button and change to another ZOOM mode.
REGULAR:
Use to view a normal picture (4:3 aspect ratio) as this is its original shape.
PANORAMIC:
This stretches the left and right sides of a normal picture (4:3 aspect ratio) to fill the screen, without making the picture appear unnatural.
• The top and bottom of the picture are slightly cut off.
14:9 ZOOM:
This zooms up the wide picture (14:9 aspect ratio) to the upper and lower limits of the screen.
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.
•For 16:9 aspect ratio pictures that have been squeezed into a normal picture (4:3 aspect ratio), use the FULL mode to restore the picture to its original shape.
