Notes
•The 4:3 Default functions only when the TV receives 480i or 480p signals.
•If “4:3 Default” is set to anything but “Off,” the Wide Screen Mode setting changes only for the current channel.
When you change channels (or inputs), the Wide Screen Mode is automatically replaced with the 4:3 Default setting.
To retain the current Wide Screen Mode setting as channels and inputs are changed, set “4:3 Default” to “Off.”
Notes on the Wide Screen Mode
•The Wide Screen Mode function of this TV allows for various display options: select the appropriate Wide Screen Mode for the original aspect ratio of the picture you are watching.
•If you change the screen size using the Wide Screen Mode feature with the TV installed in a public space for commercial use or public purpose, it might be an infringement of copyright.
•If you select “Wide Zoom” when watching the picture with 4:3 aspect ratio, part of the picture is distorted. You can watch the picture with its original aspect ratio in “Normal” mode.
•The upper and lower parts of the picture may not appear in the screen according to the size of the original picture. In this case, adjust the picture position (see pages 55, 56).
