Screen Size Selection
This unit incorporates screen modes of various height and
width ratios. For optimal viewing, we recommend that
you select the screen mode that best matches the video
source that you are viewing. Although these modes are
designed for full display of a picture on a wide screen, it is
our hope that you make use of them with a full
understanding of the manufacturer’s intentions.
Changing the screen size

range of the image shown can be set in one of four
modes on the PDP-50
P

PDP-43
