How to Use the Remote to Control Your TV
ASPECT button
Press this button to quickly change the picture format ASPECT ratio. Depending on the input signal format
received, the picture format ratio allows you to adjust the images through the following options.
4:3 STANDARD
Use this aspect mode to display conventional (4:3)
images. Side panels (gray areas) are placed to the
left and right of the image to preserve the original
aspect ratio of the source. Note: Use this mode for
only 15% of your total viewing time to prevent
uneven aging of the phosphors. Phosphors in the
lighted area of the picture will age more rapidly
than the gray areas.
4:3 EXPANDED
Use this aspect mode to display conventional (4:3)
sources by linearly increasing image expansion
from the center towards the edges of the display
area in order to fill it.
