Menu Labeling

When a category or option is selected its label will have a yellow highlight. When a feature is selected, not only will its label be highlighted, but it will also “point” to the available options that appear in the right hand column. The active option will have a checkmark (✔) beside its title. (Figure 5.)

Navigating the Menu System

Use the CURSOR keys to navigate through the menu Categories, Features, and Options. The / cursor keys move the highlight to the

left or right. The / cursor keys move the highlight up and down. (The Up and Down keys move the highlight in a continuous loop.)

Aspect Ratio

 

The aspect ratio of a television picture is the relationship of the

 

width to the height. The standard Analog aspect ratio is 4:3

 

(pronounced four to three). The 16:9 aspect ratio appears wider,

 

more closely resembling a movie theater screen image.

– the picture image right and left sides are cut off.

•

– picture image is horizontally enlarged to fill 16:9 screen

•

portion of top and bottom cut-off to fill screen.

Scan Mode

Interlaced

This is the term given to the dual-field method of scanning. Two separate fields of scan lines are created and “interlaced” together to produce a picture.

Progressive

Progressive is the term given to sequentially scanned lines (or non-interlaced). This is the method most commonly used in computer monitors.

NOTE: When receiving an analog signal (NTSC), Normal will be the only option available for each of the Picture category features.
