Screen format determines the format and size of the picture on the display screen. Press OK to continue.

Screen Format

The Screen Format feature allows you to change how the image is displayed on screen. The options are Normal, Cinerama, FlexWide, or Zoom. If you want to adjust your image, choose an option below:

Normal The image of a 4:3 video signal is centered with bars on the right and left sides of the screen. The 16:9 image is kept to its 16:9 format.

Cinerama The image of a 4:3 video signal is centered, expanding in the horizontal direction to fill the display with little distortion. Cinerama isn’t available for 16:9, so the Normal format is displayed.

FlexWide The image of a 4:3 video signal is stretched horizontally by approximately 33% while the vertical size stays the same. The 16:9 image is compressed in width.

Note: Some 4:3 images are sent by digital-TV broadcasters as a 16:9 video signal with black bars on the left and right sides of the image. Therefore, Cinerama won’t work and FlexWide won’t stretch this non-standard image, but instead will squeeze it. Use the INFO button to confirm if the video signal is 4:3 or 16:9.

Zoom The image of a 4:3 video signal increases by approximately 33% and the vertical size increases by approximately 33%. Edges of the image might be cropped. The 16:9 image is zoomed in on, possibly cropping the edges of the image.

Note: When recording from the AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUT jacks, use Normal or FlexWide to record the video closest to its original format.

Turn on Automatic Format Switching so that as you change channels, the TV will change formats for you.

Notes: The format of some video cannot be changed.

The FORMAT button on the remote lets you change the format with a one-button press rather than navigating to the Screen Format menu.
