OPERATING YOUR SET-TOP (cont.)

Using Zoom to change the picture

Making the appropriate TV Aspect Ratio and TV Display Capability settings (see pages 23 through 29) should
ensure that the picture on your TV screen is not distorted (stretched or squashed) and that it fills as much of the
screen as possible.
However, even if you have selected the correct settings, there may be times when a program appears with black
borders either at the top and bottom or at the sides of the picture (or sometimes even all the way round the
picture). This happens because the aspect ratio (shape) of the transmitted program does not match the aspect
ratio of your HDTV, or because the transmitted programme includes black borders as part of the transmission (see
right).
Your remote control should have a "zoom function" button (could be labeled ZOOM or ASPECT), which you can
use to change the TV picture until it appears as you want it to.
1. Press the "zoom function" button once to change the display.
2. Press it again to change the display again. Continue to press it in this way until the picture appears as you
want it to.
Note: The effect that this button has on transmissions depends on the transmission itself. On some transmissions
it may have no effect at all.
