CHANGING THE SCREEN ASPECT RATIO To change the screen aspect ratio: Menu > System > Aspect Ratio Use the Arrow buttons to highlight the aspect ratio you wish to view . Some programs have black bars on the top or sides of the screen so that the picture keeps its original shape . Examples include widescreen movies and older TV programs . Your TV can display images in different modes: Normal, Stretch, Wide, Zoom, and Panoramic . • Normal (default) - No change to aspect ratio . • Stretch*-When the 16:9 signal is a 4:3 image with black bars left and right, stretches to fill the screen. • Wide - Stretches a 4:3 aspect ratio to fill 16:9 screen. If a 16:9 image, adds black bars to top and bottom . • Zoom - Expands image both horizontally and vertically by 14% . • Panoramic* - Stretches a 4:3 image to fill 16:9 screen with an algorithm so the center doesn't look stretched .
