Changing Screen Size - Pioneer PDP-505CMX Operating Instructions Manual

Changing screen size

This panel incorporates screen modes of various height and
width ratios. For optimal viewing, we recommend selecting
the screen mode that best matches the video source that
you are viewing. Although these modes are designed for
full display of a picture on a wide screen, it is our hope that
you make use of them with the full understanding of our
intentions.
Screen size selection
There are four display modes. Select the mode that best shows
the size and range of the image.
