Your HDTV features the following viewing modes. You
can switch viewing modes by pressing WIDE on the
remote control.
Normal Mode
The original 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 source) is
preserved, so black bars are added to the left and right
of the display image. Standard TV broadcasts are
displayed with a 4:3 Aspect Ratio. Movies in 4:3 Aspect
Ratio may be referred to as pan-and-scan or full frame.
These movies were originally filmed in 16:9
(widescreen), and then modified to fit a traditional TV
screen (4:3).
Wide Mode
When watching a standard broadcast or full-frame
movie in this mode, the display image is stretched
proportionately to fill the TV screen. When watching a
widescreen (1.78:1 source) program or movie, the
display image fills the TV screen. If you are watching a
widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1 source) program or
movie, there will still be black bars at the top and
bottom.
Stretch Mode
When watching a widescreen program (1.78:1 source)
with black bars on the sides, the display image will
stretch to fill the TV screen. People will appear wider
than they really are. If you are watching a widescreen
(1.85:1 or 2.35:1 source) program or movie, there will
still be black bars at the top and bottom. This mode is
available only when watching a widescreen program.
Panoramic Mode
When watching a standard broadcast or full-frame
movie in this mode, the 4:3 Aspect Ratio (1.33:1
source) display image is stretched horizontally on the
left and right sides to fill the TV screen. The center of
the image is not stretched.
