The TV is a widescreen TV, but most TV programs are still broadcasting in a square format,
therefore the TV is offering multiple ways of viewing videos. There are mainly two types of signal
format, Full (16:9 format), Normal (4:3 format), while others offer a novelty ways to view the TV.
Simply use the ASPECT button on the TV's remote control to cycle between the multiple modes.
1. Wide
This mode will stretch the picture to a widescreen ratio. If you have a perfect 16:9 ratio picture you
will not see any black bars. If you are watching a widescreen movie in 1.85:1 or 2.35:1 ratio, you
will still get black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. If you use this mode on 4:3 pictures they
will be stretched and distorted horizontally.

4. NORMAL
Most analog TV channels have 4:3 signal formats. If the original 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 source) is
preserved, black bars are added to the left and right of the display image. This aspect keeps tha
t aspect ratio and shows you the black bars on the side.

3. Zoom
When watching a 4:3 aspect ratio TV or movie, this mode zooms in to cut off most of the black bars on
the side while preserving the 16:9 ratio. Because of the zoom, the top and bottom are cut off as well.

2. Cinema
When watching a 4:3 aspect ratio TV or movie, there will be black bars on the side, you can remove
this by using 16:9 aspect but the entire picture will be distorted horizontally. This mode will only
distort the two sides of the TV (where the black bars used to be) but in the center the picture will still
be proportional. This mode will fill the entire screen but most of your picture will be proportional.
Please Note : When in HD mode aspect ratios will not work
because it is controlled by the signal.
