What to Expect
Watching TV
•Your product allows you to change the format of the picture you’re viewing. Press the ZOOM– or ZOOM+ buttons to choose different screen formats. Depending on the type of signal you’re viewing and how it’s being formatted, a different format might not be available. The Format option in the Setup menu also changes the screen format. The options are Normal, Letterbox, Crop, or Squeeze. Go to page 27 for examples of screen formats.
•The DIG•ANA button on the remote switches between analog or digital channels. Analog channels are sent in 4:3 (standard) format. Most digital channels are sent in a 16:9 (widescreen) format. You might see gray or black bars at the top and bottom of the screen; it depends on how the station is formatting the video. Press the ZOOM– or ZOOM+ buttons for a different format that might eliminate the bars. 4:3 and 16:9 are also known as aspect ratios.
Note: Digital stations in native 4:3 format might not be able to have their format changed. (You’ll see black or gray bars on the sides of the picture sent as part of the signal from the broadcaster).
