If you have a 16:9 widescreen format TV you should select the 16:9 format. Widescreen programs will fit on your TV.

If you have a standard format TV screen, you can choose the 4:3 option — it will fill the entire screen with the widescreen program, but will crop the sides of the program video to fit it on your TV screen. Or you can choose the 16:9 — it will display the entire program video on your TV screen, but will display black bars above and below the program to adjust the widescreen video image to your 4:3 format TV screen. The choice is a matter of preference.

Setting the default screen color and translucency

The Screen Color menu item in the Preferences menu allows you to set a default screen color that will be used to display the Menu and Guide screens. There are four color choices named for the four seasons: Spring (green), Summer (blue), Fall (amber), Winter (violet). Screen colors can also be set for the FAMILY profile and the four USER profiles; those choices will override the default screen color selection you set here when those profiles are active.

The Translucency menu item in the Preferences menu allows you to set a default translucency level that will be used to display the Menu and Guide screens (controlling how much TV program content you can view through the on-screen Menu and Guide screens). You can choose from four levels of translucency: Light, Medium, Dark, and Opaque (no translucency). Translucency can also be set for the FAMILY profile and the four USER profiles; those choices will override the default translucency selection you set here when those profiles are active.

To set a default screen color and translucency, follow these steps:

1Press the MENU button on your remote control. The Main menu appears.

2Use the arrow buttons on your remote control to highlight the Setup menu item, then press the button on your remote control.
