Adjusting the IMAGE SHAPE feature
The IMAGE SHAPE feature allows you to adjust the shape of the
image when viewing 16:9 (widescreen) content from an external
device (for example, a DVD player). This feature enables you to watch
16:9 content in the highest possible resolution (when you select
“16:9” mode in step 3, below).
See “Notice of possible adverse effects
on TV picture tube” below right.
To adjust the image shape:

3. Press
x
or
•
to select AUTO, NORMAL, or 16:9 mode, as
described below.
• AUTO—Automatically detects and displays the signal as it was
recorded. For example, if the source is a 16:9 (widescreen)
signal, the picture displays in 16:9 (widescreen) format (usually
with bars at the top and bottom of the screen). If the source is a
4:3 signal, the picture displays in 4:3 format.
If “AUTO” mode does not automatically detect a 16:9 signal from your
DVD player or other source, select “16:9” mode instead, which will
manually set the image shape to 16:9 (widescreen). “AUTO” mode is
not available when viewing an ANT 1 or ANT 2 signal source.
• NORMAL—Displays the picture in normal/conventional 4:3
format, regardless of the signal type.
To use “NORMAL” mode, you must first set your DVD player’s setup
menu options to normal/conventional TV mode (4:3 aspect ratio).
• 16:9—Compresses the signal to letterbox (16:9) mode (with
bars at the top and bottom of the screen), regardless of the
signal type.
To use “16:9” mode, you must first set your DVD player’s setup menu
options to widescreen TV mode (16:9 aspect ratio). “16:9” mode is not
available when viewing an ANT 1 or ANT 2 signal source.
Note:
•
The factory (default) setting for the IMAGE
SHAPE feature is “AUTO.”
•
Aspect ratio is the ratio of width to height of
your TV’s screen.
NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSE
EFFECTS ON TV PICTURE TUBE
Avoid displaying stationary images on
your TV screen for extended periods of
time. Fixed (non-moving) images (such
as black or gray bars on widescreen/16:9
format images) can become permanently
engrained in the picture tube.
This type
of damage is NOT COVERED BY
YOUR WARRANTY because it is the
result of misuse.
See item 33 on page 4.
