in widescreen format to closer emulate the cinema
experience, but some programmes such as news
bulletins are 4:3. To help get the most from both TV set
and programme when a widescreen film is watched on
a standard TV, or a standard broadcast is viewed on a
widescreen set, the receiver includes the WIDE key.
So long as the receiver has been correctly set up for
the TV set connected, a widescreen programme will
always be displayed correctly on a widescreen set, and
a standard format programme will correctly fill the screen
of a standard format TV.
With a widescreen TV set displaying a standard format
programme the WIDE key switches between displaying
the picture with black bars down the sides, and enlarging
the picture so that it fills the whole width of the screen
but the top and bottom are cropped off.With a standard
format TV displaying a widescreen programme, the
WIDE key switches between displaying the picture with
black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, and filling
the whole height of the screen but cropping the sides off
according to instructions broadcast with the programme
(called ‘pan and scan’).The effect of the WIDE key on the
picture display is cancelled by pressing WIDE again.
Note:
Sometimes the TV will automatically try and
compensate for an incorrect screen format, in this
instance set the tv to the correct format whilst viewing
the programme.
Notes
POWER: The receiver should be plugged into a 220-
240 V AC 50Hz supply only.
LEADS: Ensure the power supply lead, and all other
leads, are positioned so they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by things placed on or against
them. Pay particular attention to the power lead, where
it enters the mains plug and where it comes out of the
receiver. Do not connect or adjust leads when the
receiver is plugged in.
TEMPERATURE AND MOISTURE: Do not leave or
use the receiver in a hot, cold or humid area. Do not
allow the receiver to get wet - from drips or splashes
- as this may be dangerous. Do not place water-filled
objects such as flower vases, on top of the receiver.
