Watching Your TV

ratios (the width-to-height ratio of the image).

your preference.

You can choose optimum sound and picture settings to match the content you are
displaying on your TV:

Press the remote control's HOME button, select Settings, then select the Picture and
Sound settings to adjust the picture and sound quality of your content.
Refer to your Operating Instructions Manual for more information on adjusting or
customizing your settings.
