Using the TV’s Menu System

Tip

You can turn 16:9 mode on/off from the menu or the FETCH button on the remote. If you are using a DTC100 remote, you can use the FETCH button with the remote in the TV mode.

16 : 9 Mode Also known as anamorphic mode. Lets you select a widescreen format for a wider viewing area using a 16:9 aspect-ratio source, such as a DVD player, for display on this 4:3 aspect-ratio TV. Requirements include a 16:9 aspect-ratio source, such as a DVD player or HD receiver; a 16:9 aspect-ratio disc or signal; the 16:9 source needs to be set to output a 16:9 format signal; and the 16:9 mode on the TV needs to be on.

Important: Prolonged use of 16:9 mode will result in visible darkening of the picture tube. To maintain screen quality, do not operate in 16:9 mode for extended periods of time.

Notes:

When using 16:9 mode, the on-screen displays (menus, guide, CC, and PIP) will be compressed somewhat, which is normal.

A separate 16:9 mode setting is retained for the tuner, video, component, and high resolution inputs. If the TV is turned off, all 16:9 mode settings are retained.

Using Closed Captioning

Many programs are encoded with closed-captioning information, which lets you display the audio portion of a program as text on the TV screen.

Closed captioning is not available on all channels at all times. Only specific programs encoded with closed-captioning information are applicable. When a program is closed captioned, CC is displayed in the channel banner. See Chapter 3 for more information about the channel banner.
