Special Features
With a 4:3 Ratio TV or Monitor
If you are using a 4:3 ratio TV or monitor and receive an image with a 16:9 ratio, you
need to specify how the image is displayed.
Letter box
Choose this when receiving a 16:9 image and you want to see the original wide format.
Letter boxing shrinks the picture so the entire image will fit on the screen. Blank panels
appear at the top and bottom of the screen.
Full
Choose this when you want the television to adjust the 16:9 image vertically so it fills your
4:3 screen. No blank panels will be added, and the image is horizontally unaltered.
Zoom
Choose this when receiving a 16:9 image and you want the wide movie format to fill the
entire screen. Left and right portions of the picture are cropped, or cut.
With a 16:9 Ratio TV or Monitor
If you are using a 16:9 ratio TV or monitor and receive an image with a 4:3 aspect ratio,
the image will be displayed at the 4:3 ratio on your monitor unless you specify otherwise.
The Screen Format menu allows you to adjust the image through the following options:
Pillar box
Choose this when receiving a 4:3 image and you want the on-screen appearance of the
video to be a centered picture with blank panels on the right and left sides.
Full
Choose this when you want the television to adjust the 4:3 image horizontally so it fills
your 16:9 screen. No blank panels will be added, and the image is vertically unaltered.
This setting is especially useful for viewing 4:3 formatted DVDs.
Zoom
Choose this when receiving a 4:3 image and you want to maintain the correct image pro-
portion. Top and bottom portions of the picture are cropped, or cut.
NOTE
The availability of the Changing the Screen Format feature depends on the Resolution
Select and current broadcasting signal format.
