OPERATING YOUR SET-TOP (cont.)
Using Zoom to change the picture
Making the appropriate TV Aspect Ratio and TV Display Capability settings (see pages 14 through 16) should
ensure that the picture on your TV screen is not distorted (stretched or squashed) and that it fills as much of
the screen as possible.
However, even if you have selected the correct settings, there may be times when a program appears with
black borders either at the top and bottom or at the sides of the picture (or sometimes even all the way around
the picture). This happens because the aspect ratio (shape) of the
transmitted program
does not match
the aspect ratio of your HDTV, or because the transmitted program includes black borders as part of the
transmission (see right).
Your remote control has a button labeled ZOOM, which you can use to change the TV picture until it appears
as you want it to.
1. Press the ZOOM button once to change the display.
2. Press it again to change the display again. Continue to press it in this way until the picture appears as you
want it to.
Note: The effect that this button has on transmissions depends on the transmission itself. On some
transmissions it may have no effect at all.
