CHANGING THE SCREEN ASPECT RATIO The TV can display images in four different modes: Normal, Panoramic, Wide, and Zoom. Each mode displays the picture differently. Some programs have black bars on the top or sides of the picture so that the picture keeps its original shape. Examples include wide-screen movies and older television programs. To change the screen aspect ratio: 1. Press the Wide button on the remote. 2. Use the Arrow buttons to highlight the aspect ratio you wish to view and press OK. • Normal preserves the content's original aspect ratio and size. • Stretch expands a widescreen image to fill the screen from top to bottom and stretches it half as much from right to left. Figures appear tall and thin. • 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-figures appear short and fat. 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 evenly in all directions (33% taller and 33% wider) with black bars to fit the screen. A 720p image will fill a 1080p screen. Normal Stretch Wide Zoom Note: Aspect ratio settings may vary by Input source. Normal Stretch Wide Zoom 3 16
