Picture formats
Unlike previous sets, the Picture format can be changed without regard to the input.
Native format
The Native format fills the set’s 16 x 9 screen. If
the source picture is in the 4 x 3 format, the set
will stretch the picture to fill the 16 x 9 screen.
4 x 3 format
The 4 x 3 format displays the picture in 4 x3 with
black bars on each side. The bars slowly shift to
prevent CRT burn in.
Panoramic format
The Panoramic format keeps the picture center
linear while stretching the outside edges of the
picture. This allows a 4 x 3 picture to be dis-
played on a 16 x 9 screen with minimum linear
distortion.
Zoom Format
The Zoom format expands the picture vertically
and Horizontally. This mode is used when the
original picture is in the letterbox format (black
bars on the top and bottom).
