TV Signals and Display Formats

This is a 16:9 widescreen TV suitable for images available from HDTV and many DVDs. You can view older-style, squar- ish images (4:3 aspect ratio) using one of the display formats described on this page. Press the MORE key and then the

0key (FORMAT) to cycle through available display formats. The TV remembers the format you last used for each input.

DVD Image Definitions

Image information may be stated on the DVD case. Some DVDs support both of the formats described below.

Anamorphic (or Enhanced for WideScreen TV) Indicates DVDs recorded to show widescreen images prop- erly on 16:9 TV sets using the TV’s Standard format mode (recommended).

Non-Anamorphic (or 4:3, 1.33:1, Letter Box, or Full Screen)

Indicates DVDs recorded for viewing on squarish TV screens. They may be full screen (4:3 or 1.33:1) which crops movies to fit the narrow TV, or letter box, which adds black top and bottom bars.

Signal Definitions

480i: Older type of interlaced signals from the ANT input, composite VIDEO, component Y Pb Pr, or HDMI jacks.

480p: Progressive-scan DVD signals on component Y Pb Pr or HDMI jacks.

720p and 1080i: High-definition signals received through component Y Pb Pr or HDMI jacks. These signals are always 16:9 (widescreen).

1080p: High-definition signals from a PC or Blu-ray player, HDMI inputs only.

SD 4:3: Standard-definition squarish-screen-format signals from digital channels on the ANT input.

SD 16:9: Standard-definition widescreen-format signals from digital channels on the ANT input.

HD 16:9: High-definition 16:9 widescreen signals from digital channels on the ANT input.

TV Display Format Definitions

Standard: The full-screen format used by HDTV signals. Use this format to display anamorphic DVDs with a 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 aspect ratio. Anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio are displayed correctly but with top and bottom black bars. Squarish (4:3) images are stretched evenly from side to side. Available for all signals.

Expand: Enlarges the picture to fill the screen by cropping the top and bottom; useful for reducing the letter box top and bottom bars of non-anamorphic DVD images.

Zoom: Enlarges the picture to fill the screen by cropping the sides, top, and bottom to eliminate black bars.

480i/480p and SD 4:3 signals: Eliminates top and bottom bars on anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio.

720p, 1080i, SD 16:9, and HD signals: Eliminates bars added to squarish 4:3 images.

Stretch: Stretches a squarish 4:3 image across the screen to display the entire image with less distortion than the Standard format.

Stretch Plus: Similar to Stretch, but minimizes distor- tion on the sides by expanding the picture to crop off

portions of the top and bottom. Use to adjust the vertical position of the picture.

Narrow: Displays narrow 4:3 images in their original shape. Adds black side bars to fill the screen.

Wide Expand: Enlarges the picture, cropping the image on both sides. Removes or reduces black side bars added to narrow images converted to 16:9 signals for digital broadcast.

Note: All high-definition channels send widescreen (16:9) signals, but not all programming was created for the widescreen format. The broadcaster may stretch the image or add side bars to fill the widescreen area.
