Natural picture size

The image is displayed close to its originally formatted proportion. Some program formats will display with side bars and/or bars at the top and bottom.

• The center of the picture remains close to its original proportion, but the left and right edges are stretched wider to fill the screen.

• The top and bottom edges of the picture may be hidden; however, this mode cannot be scrolled.

• The “picture size” illustrations are examples only. The format of the image (in any of the picture sizes) will vary depending on the format of

NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON PLASMA DISPLAY Avoid displaying stationary images on your Plasma display for extended periods of time. Fixed (non-moving) patterns or images (including but not limited to PIP/ POP windows, closed captions, video game patterns, TV station logos, stock tickers, websites, and special formats that do not use the entire screen) can become permanently ingrained in the Plasma display and cause subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of damage is

NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY.

Using these functions to change the picture 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 the remote control does not operate your TV, press the “TV” button on the remote control and try again.
