Use the Arrow buttons to

highlight the aspect ratio you

• Normal preserves the content's original aspect ratio. Since the

Timer
bars are added to the left and right of the display image.
• Stretch expands the display image to fill the screen. Images may
appear wider than intended. If you are watching widescreen
(1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content, black bars will still appear on the top
Network Settings Help
and bottom of the display image. This option is only available
when the TV is displaying a 720p/1080i/1080p source.
• Panoramic expands the display image to fill the width of the
screen. Images may appear wider than intended. If you are
watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content, black bars will
still appear on the top and bottom of the display image. This
option is only available when the TV is displaying a 480i/480p
source.
• Wide stretches a 4:3 aspect ratio picture to the edges of the
screen. Since the picture is being stretched, the display image
may appear distorted. If the program is already formatted
for widescreen viewing (1.85:1 or 2.35:1), then black bars will
appear on the top and bottom of the display image.
• Zoom expands images with black bars to fit the screen.
