Changing the Screen Aspect Ratio

The TV can display images in four different modes: Normal, Wide, Zoom, and
Panoramic. Each mode displays the picture differently.
To change the screen aspect ratio:
1. Press the MENU button on the remote.
2. Use the Arrow buttons to highlight the
Wide icon. Press OK.
3. Use the Arrow buttons to highlight your desired screen mode and press
OK:
• Normal preserves the content's original aspect ratio. Since the 4:3
aspect ratio is not large enough to fill the TV's screen, black bars are
added to the left and right of the display image.
• 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.
• Panoramic 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 and bottom
of the display image. This option is only available when the TV is
displaying a 480i/480p source.
• 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 and bottom
of the display image. This option is only available when the TV is
displaying a 720p/1080i/1080p source.

Setting Up Closed Captioning

Your TV can display closed captions for programs that include them. Closed
captions display a transcription of a program's dialogue.
If the program you are viewing is not being broadcast with closed
captions, the TV will not display them.
To activate or deactivate closed captions:
1. Press the MENU button on the remote.
The on-screen menu is displayed.
2. Use the Arrow buttons on the remote
to highlight the CC icon and press OK.
The Closed Caption menu is displayed.
3. Use the Arrow buttons on the remote
to highlight the type of closed captions
you wish to see:
• Analog Closed Caption for
analog (NTSC) TV channels.
• Digital Closed Caption for
digital (ATSC) TV channels.
4. After highlighting the type of closed
captions you wish to see, use the Left/
Right Arrow buttons on the remote to
select the caption channel you wish to
display, then press EXIT.
Caption channels usually display different languages. For example,
CC1 may display English captions and CC2 may display Spanish
captions.
