VIZIO VA220E User's Manual Understanding Viewing Modes Your HDTV features the following viewing modes. You can switch viewing modes by pressing WIDE on the remote control. Normal Mode The original 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 source) is preserved, so black bars are added to the left and right of the display image. Standard TV broadcasts are displayed with a 4:3 aspect ratio. Movies in 4:3 aspect ratio may be referred to as pan-and-scan or full-frame. These movies were originally filmed in 16:9 (widescreen), and then modified to fit a traditional TV screen (4:3). Wide Mode When watching a standard broadcast or full-frame movie in this mode, the display image is stretched proportionately to fill the TV screen. When watching a widescreen (1.78:1 source) program or movie, the display image fills the TV screen. If you are watching a widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1 source) program or movie, there will still be black bars at the top and bottom. Panoramic Mode When watching a standard broadcast or full-frame movie in this mode, the 4:3 Aspect Ratio (1.33:1 source) display image is stretched horizontally on the left and right sides to fill the TV screen. The center of the image is not stretched. Version 12/12/2008 39 www.VIZIO.com
