Aspect Controls

The Widescreen TV will allow you to enjoy viewing the picture at its optimum size and aspect, including widescreen cinema format pictures.

Press the ASPECT button repeatedly to move through the aspect options:

16:9, 14:9, Just, 4:3, Zoom1, Zoom2 and Zoom3

OR

ASPECT

OK

Press the ASPECT button. Whilst the on screen selector keys are displayed, use the Red or Green buttons to move in either direction through the aspect options.

Note:

This is not available for 720p and 1080i signals input.

Aspect is fixed to 16:9.

16 : 9

16:9 will display a true 16:9 (anamorphic) picture with no aspect distortions. Signals in the 4:3 format will be stretched to fit the picture.

14 : 9

14:9 will display a 14:9 picture at its standard 14:9 size without any stretching.

Just

Use Just when you wish to expand a 4:3 picture to fill the whole screen (rather than watching a programme with black stripes down the left and right sides of the picture).

The 4:3 picture will be stretched horizontally so that the image fills the screen, this is done in such a way that the stretching is only obvious at the left and right edges of the screen.
