Screen Formats

Screen format refers to the way the picture is displayed on your TV. Press the FORMAT button on your remote to see if a different format is available for the video you are viewing. The format changes as you press the FORMAT button and the format type is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Analog video is sent in a 4/3 format, which your TV displays in a 16/9 format. Most digital video is sent in a 16/9 format which fills your screen, but it sometimes is sent in 4/3, which does not fill your screen. It depends on how the station or component connected to your TV is formatting the video. If there are bars on the screen, press the FORMAT button to try a different format that may eliminate the bars. Some bars can’t be removed because of the way the format is sent by the broadcaster.

To change the screen formats:

1.Press MENU on the remote control ( the Main Menu appears).

2.Select Picture Mode.

3.Scroll to Screen Formats.

4.Use the left and right arrows to choose the format you desire.

5.Press MENU button repeatedly to exit Picture Mode.

Examples of the different formats appear below. Each format is available for analog video, but it might not be available for digital video.
