The picture that the TV receives may be in one of several formats (e.g. conventional
4:3 format, 16:9 widescreen format etc.). You can alter the TV screen mode
manually to suit the broadcast you are watching. (Alternatively, set the 'Auto
Format' menu option to 'On'. The TV will automatically select the best mode to suit
the broadcast. Refer to page 26 for details.)
1. Press the button repeatedly to select 'Wide', 'Zoom', '14:9', '4:3' or
'Smart'.
Wide
Use this mode for watching widescreen broadcasts (e.g. Digital / Satellite TV,
DVD).
Smart
This mode creates an imitation widescreen effect for conventional 4:3
broadcasts. The 4:3 picture is stretched to fill the TV screen, eliminating any
black areas. In 'Smart' mode, parts of the top and bottom of the picture may be
cut off. Press the V or v button to adjust the position of the picture on the TV
screen (e.g. to read subtitles).
4:3
Use this mode for watching conventional 4:3 broadcasts (e.g. non widescreen
TV) with the picture displayed in the correct proportions. As a result, black areas
are visible on the TV screen.
