Changing the SCreen aSpeCt ratiO

Normal, and Stretch. Each mode displays the picture differently.
To change the screen aspect ratio:
1. Press the
MENU
button on the

and press

• Normal
preserves the content’s original aspect ratio.
Since the 4:3 aspect ratio is not large enough to fill the
TV’s screen, black bars are added to the left and right of
the display image.
• Wide
stretches a 4:3 aspect ratio picture to the edges
of the screen. Since the picture is being stretched, the
display image may appear distorted. If the program
is already formatted for widescreen viewing (1.85:1 or
2.35:1), then black bars will appear on the top and
bottom of the display image.
• Zoom
expands images with black bars to fit the screen.
• Panoramic
expands the display image to fill the screen.
Images may appear wider than intended. If you are
watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content, black
bars will still appear on the top and bottom of the display
image.
This option is only available when the TV is
displaying a 480i/480p source.
• Stretch
expands the display image to fill the screen.
Images may appear wider than intended. If you are
watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content, black
bars will still appear on the top and bottom of the display
image.
This option is only available when the TV is
displaying a 720p/1080i/1080p source.
