Adjust Screen Shape and Aspect Ratio
High-definition and standard-definition signals are transmitted with different aspect
ratios (the width-to-height ratio of the image). Most HD signals use a wide screen aspect
ratio of 16:9. The 16:9 fills your BRAVIA screen, maintaining a crisp, clear, vivid picture.
Most standard-definition signals use a boxy 4:3 aspect ratio. When a 4:3 image is
displayed on an HDTV, you will see black bars on the sides. The picture quality may
not be as sharp as with HD sources.
✍
• Press on your remote control to display the Wide Mode setting of your preference.
Customize Sound and Picture Quality
You can choose optimum sound and picture settings to match the content you are
displaying on your TV:
■
Press on your remote control and select Picture or Sound menu, then
choose the appropriate setting for your content.
■
Use the remote control to quickly adjust picture quality.
■
Refer to your BRAVIA Operating Instructions Manual for more information.
