Chapter 8 Understanding Viewing Features

Your HDTV features the following viewing modes. You can switch viewing modes using the remote control, follow the instructions on page 16.

Viewing Modes

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).

Full

Full mode allows you to view the entire picture. Recommended for HDMI and RGB / Computer viewing so you can see the complete picture without the image overstretching beyond the viewing area. If you experience “noise” along the border switch to Zoom 1. For 720p, 1080i, 1080p only.

Zoom 1

When watching a standard broadcast or full-frame movie in this mode, the display image is stretched proportionately to fill your HDTV screen. When watching a widescreen (1.78:1 source) program or movie, the display image fills your HDTV 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.

Zoom 2

Zooms in by 14% to crop the top and bottom bars for 2.35:1 film resolutions. For 480i/p, 4:3 only.

Stretch Mode

When watching a widescreen program (1.78:1 source) with black bars on the sides, the display image will stretch to fill your HDTV 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 your HDTV screen. The center of the image is not stretched.
