ADVANCED REMOTE FEATURES

USING PICTURE FORMAT CONTROL

Your TV’s wide screen (16:9 aspect ratio) delivers a home-cinema experience not

possible with a conventional (4:3 aspect ratio) set. High-definition (HD) programs originating in 16:9 format and other widescreen-format video sources appear more lifelike, dramatic, and theatrical. Border bars are diminished or eliminated. Most anamorphic-DVD programs will fill the wide screen without border bars.

Selecting a Picture Format Using the Remote Control

Use your TV’s picture-format modes with video sources you connect to the ANTENNA, CABLE AV1, AV2, AV3, AV4, AV5, SIDE inputs on the TV. While watching a video source—with no onscreen menu or display present— press the FORMAT button once to see the currect mode. Press it again to change to the next mode.

Picture-format Modes

NATIVE (16:9) is the default for your DTV because HD programs are broad- cast in this format. Analog channels are expanded horizontally.

4:3 shows an analog the picture in its original, conventional (4:3 aspect ratio) format.

ZOOM expands, or zooms, the picture both vertically and horizontally, eliminat- ing or reducing the size of border bars.

PANORAMIC stretches the outer por- tions of the picture horizontally.

WARNING

To prevent uneven picture-tube aging, do not leave border bars or other sta- tionary images on screen for extended periods of time.
