Viewing the wide-screen picture formats
You can view programs that have the conventional TV picture
format (4:3 aspect ratio) and the wide-screen format (16:9 aspect
ratio). This feature is available for 1080i digital broadcasts and
480p/480i DVD signals connected to the ColorStream HD1 and
HD2 jacks.
Selecting the image shape
1. Make sure the ColorStream HD1 or HD2 mode is selected. (See
page 38 for details.)
2. Press PIC SIZE repeatedly to select either Normal, Letterbox, or
Compression image shape, as described below.
Note:
The message “Not Available” will appear when the PIC
SIZE button is pressed in the mode other than the
ColorStream HD1 or HD2.

While the above menu is on-screen, select the desired picture size by
pressing the corresponding number button (0–2).
Normal
The Normal picture size displays the picture in the conventional 4:3
aspect ratio. The picture is stretched vertically to fill the screen.
Letterbox, Compression
The Letterbox and Compression modes display the wide picture
(16:9) with bars at top and bottom. The picture retains its true
proportion.
Letterbox (recommended mode):
• Picture is horizontally stretched, with bars at the top and bottom.
• Lower picture quality than in the Compression mode because of a
reduction in the scanning lines.
• Slightly lower chance of permanently
engraining stationary patterns on the
picture tube than in the Compression
mode.
Compression:
• Picture is vertically compressed,
with bars at the top and bottom.
• Better picture quality than in the
Letterbox mode because of more
effective use of scanning lines.
• Greater chance of permanently engraining stationary patterns on
the picture tube than in the Letterbox mode, since there is no
raster in the bars at top and bottom.
NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSE
EFFECTS ON TV PICTURE TUBE
If a fixed (non-moving) pattern remains
on the TV screen for long periods of time,
the image can become permanently
engrained in the picture tube. See page 2
for details.
Letterbox and Compression
modes have bars at top and
bottom of screen. See “Notice of
possible adverse effects on TV
picture tube,” at right.
