Switching picture formats
PALplus is the compatible further developement of
the PAL color television which has proved itself
over decades in a new 16:9 picture format which
has been developed by European broadcasting cor-
porations and entertainment electronics corporati-
ons.
PALplus transmissions in 16:9 format are noted
specially in relevant magazines and in videotext
(ARD, ZDF).
The unit switches automatically to the 16:9 format
during PALplus transmissions.
Under bad reception conditions, it is possible for
the picture format to switch between 16:9 and 4:3.
In this case, the automatic picture format switching
function can be turned off. Read page 15 in the
chapter «Service» for information on this topic.

1 With the button, you can choose between
the picture formats: » Automatic format «,
» Format 16:9 «, » CINEMA «, » Format 4:3 « and
» PANORAMA «.
Automatic format
During 16:9 transmissions, the unit switches auto-
matically to the »16:9« picture format.
During 4:3 transmissions, the picture is always dis-
played so as to fill the entire screen.
This setting is possible only if the the picture swit-
ching format in the »Service« menu is set to
»manual« (see page 15)
16:9 picture format
During 4:3 transmissions– with the » 16:9 picture
format « function selected – the picture appears
spread out horizontally.
The picture geometry is stretched out in the hori-
zontal direction.
With actual 16:9 signal sources – fed in from a
separate decoder (for example a digital television
system » set-on-top « decoder) via the Euro AV
socket – the picture is completely filled and the pic-
ture geometry is correct.
CINEMA
This operating mode is designed primarily for
transmissions in the 16:9 format.
The black stripes one normally sees above and
below the picture are overwritten.
The Cinema operating mode displays 4:3 pictures
so that they fill the entire screen.
The transmitted pictures are enlarged, which means
that some picture content on the top and bottom of
the screen is lost. Howevere the picture geometry is
maintained.
P ANORAMA
This operating mode is designed for cinema films -
transmitted by broadcasters – with extreme
width/height ratios.
For 4:3 transmissions – with the » Panorama Zoom «
function selected– the picture appears spead out
horizontally.
The picture geometry is stretched out in the hori-
zontal direction.
