• When switching the input signal, the audio mute
turns ON temporarily.

screen modes for 1080i and 720p video signals
connected to the COMPONENT 2 terminal.
Explanation
Normal will display a 4:3 picture at its standard 4:3
size. For 1080i and 720p video signals, a picture will
be displayed at 16:9 size.
Full will display a 4:3 picture at a 16:9 size, with
horizontal elongation necessary to fill the screen.
Wide will display a 4:3 picture at a 16:9 size, with less
horizontal elongation necessary to fill the screen
because a little bit of the top and bottom will be cut off.
Zoom will magnify the entire 4:3 picture to fill the
screen, with no horizontal elongation to fill the screen,
as more of the top and bottom are cut off. Use this
mode to view letterboxed 4:3 picture content to get a
widescreen picture. A 16:9 picture will be magnified
similarly, but to a lesser extent.
