Aspect Ratio
Note
•
The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is greater than the standard "16:9", black bands
may appear at the top and bottom of the screen.
•
If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR, adjust the
tracking of the VCR. (See the VCR manual.)
•
To select the ratio manually: (Only “16:9” or “4:3” in PC mode)
The optimum size and aspect can be chosen, and you can enjoy finer images. (p. 13)
