Screen Formats
Screen format refers to the way the picture is displayed on your TV. Press the
FORMAT
button on your
remote to see if a different format is available for the video you are viewing. The format changes as
you press the
FORMAT
button, and the format type is displayed at the top left of the screen.
Analog video is sent in a 4/3 format, which your TV displays in a 16/9 format. Most digital video is sent
in a 16/9 format which fills your screen, but it sometimes is sent in 4/3, which does not fill your screen.
It depends on how the station or component connected to your TV is formatting the video. If there are
bars on the screen, press the FORMAT button to try a different format that may eliminate the bars.
Some bars can’t be removed because of the way the format is sent by the broadcaster.
Press FORMAT repeatedly to cycle through the available display formats. Options include:
