Adjusting the Size (Aspect) of the Picture
Video images come in several different sizes, depending on the video content and the source device. If a picture does
not fit the shape of your television screen, you have several choices:
• shrink the picture to fit the screen with black bars filling the unused space
• zoom the picture to fill the screen
• stretch the picture to fill the screen.
Press Aspect one or more times to find the size and shape you like best. The options may vary, depending on the
input resolution. For some options, some parts of the picture might be off the screen or stretched.
Adjusting the Picture for Best Color
You can fine-tune the picture settings on your television to get the best color and image quality. You can perform these
steps for each input port that you use. Do them in the order shown. For some input ports, some of these settings might
not be available, and you should skip these adjustments.
1. Press the Picture button and select the picture mode you want to use for the current source. If you are satis-
fied with the color, stop here.
2. Press Menu . Use the arrow buttons to select the Picture menu and press OK.
