size (i.e., changing the height/ width ratio) for
any purpose other than your private viewing
may be prohibited under the Copyright Laws
of the United States and other countries, and
may subject you to civil and criminal liability.
Note: If you select one of the TheaterWide®

and 1080p signal programs)

If receiving a 480i (HDMI), 480p (HDMI), 720p,
1080i, or 1080p signal program, Native mode
scales the video to display the entire picture within
the borders of the screen (i.e. no overscanning).
This is especially useful for external HD sources
such as DVHS movies, or PC graphics.
Note:
This mode is supported only for HDMI
(1080p,1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i), ColorStream
(1080i and 720p), and ANT/ CABLE (digital)
inputs (1080p,1080i, and 720p).
Depending on the input signals, the border of
the picture may be hidden, displayed in black,
or noisy.
