Screen Size Selection

This unit incorporates screen modes of various height and
width ratios. For optimal viewing, we recommend that
you select 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 a full
understanding of the manufacturer's intentions.
Changing the screen size
The size of the picture or the picture's range projected on
the screen can be changed between 4 screen sizes
described in the table on this page.
Press SCREEN SIZE to select the size.
The screen size changes each time SCREEN SIZE is

Notes
÷ When the WIDE, ZOOM or FULL setting is used to display a
non-wide screen 4:3 picture fully on a wide screen, a portion
of the picture may be cut off or appear deformed.
÷ Be aware that when the display is used for commercial or
public viewing purposes, selecting the WIDE, ZOOM or FULL
mode settings may violate the rights of authors protected
under copyright law.
÷ When DOT BY DOT or 4:3 screen sizes are selected, the
display position is moved slightly each time the power is
turned on, in order to prevent image burning.
Moving the screen position

When a vista size movie etc., is viewed at the ZOOM
setting, the image may not be centered on the screen,
and may extend past the edge of the screen.
In this case, adjust the screen to an clearly viewable
position using 5/∞.

The display fills the screen
as much as possible without
altering the aspect ratio of
the input signal.
Note:
When viewing at aspect ratio 4:3 continuously for numerous hours,
or for repeated short periods of time each day, some after image
may be burned into the screen.
To avoid such burning of after images in the screen, use aspect ratios
other than 4:3 whenever possible, unless necessary to avoid
infringement of copyright.

sports programs. Movies or sports
programs can be viewed with an
