E472VL / E552VL

Changing the Screen Aspect Ratio

The TV can display images in four different modes: Wide, Zoom, Normal, and Stretch. Each mode displays the picture differently.

To change the screen aspect ratio:

1.Press the MENU button on the remote.

2.Use the Arrow buttons to highlight the Wide icon. Press OK.

3.Use the Arrow buttons to highlight your desired screen mode and press OK:

Normal preserves the content’s original aspect ratio. Since the 4:3 aspect ratio is not large enough to fill the TV’s screen, black bars are added to the left and right of the display image.

Wide stretches a 4:3 aspect ratio picture to the edges of the screen. Since the picture is being stretched, the display image may appear distorted. If the program is already formatted for widescreen viewing (1.85:1 or 2.35:1), then black bars will appear on the top and bottom of the display image.

Zoom expands images with black bars to fit the screen.

Panoramic expands the display image to fill the screen. Images may appear wider than intended. If you are watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content, black bars will still appear on the top and bottom of the display image. This option is only available when the TV is displaying a 480i/480p source.

Stretch expands the display image to fill the screen. Images may appear wider than intended. If you are watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content, black bars will still appear on the top and bottom of the display image. This option is only available when the TV is displaying a 720p/1080i/1080p source.

Setting Up Closed Captioning
