Part IV: Operation
Remote Control Functions: Display Formats
This is a wide screen TV (also known as
a 16:9TV). This shape reflects the new
types of images available from HDTV and
many DVDs. There are still many older style
narrow screen images (called 4:3 aspect
ratio) you will encounter. While there will
never be a perfect solution for displaying
a narrow image on a wide screen, Mitsubi-
shi offers several display formats to choose
from.
Press FORMAT on the TV remote control
to cycle through the five available display
formats.
[] Standard: This is the full screen format.
HDTV signals will automatically use this
format. This format is also useful to dis-
play Anamorphic DVDs that have 1.78:1
or 1.85:1 aspect ratios. Anamorphic
DVDs that have the 2.35:1 aspect ratio
will still display black bars at the top and
bottom. Narrow (4:3) images will be
stretched evenly from side to side.
[] Expand: This will enlarge the picture,
cropping off some of the image at the
sides, and top and bottom. This is
useful to reduce the letterbox top and
bottom bars of non-anamorphic DVDs or
to correct narrow (4:3) images that have
been stretched in the Standard format.
[] Zoom:This will enlarge the picture, crop-
ping off some of the image at each side.
This is useful to remove or reduce the
black top and bottom bars on anamor-
phic DVDs with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio.
[]
Stretched: (Not available when viewing
480p signals) This format will stretch a
narrow (4:3) image across the screen,
however, there is less stretch in the
center than the sides. This will allow
the entire narrow image to be displayed
across the screen with less distortion
than seen in the Standard format.
[] Narrow:This format will display narrow
(4:3) images in their original shape, and
add stationary gray side bars to fill the
screen.
