Adjusting the Size (Aspect) of the Picture

Video images come in several different sizes, depending on the video content and the source device. If a picture does
not fit the shape of your television screen, you have several choices:
• shrink the picture to fit the screen with black bars filling the unused space
• zoom the picture to fill the screen
• stretch the picture to fill the screen.
Press Aspect one or more times to find the size and shape you like best. The options may vary, depending on the
input resolution. For some options, some parts of the picture might be off the screen or stretched.
TIP: The Normal setting is the only setting that will always display the picture with no distortion.
Type of picture
Normal
• Best fit (side bars fill screen)
Wide-Screen Picture
• Best fit (fills screen)
Zoom
• Best fit (top and bottom bars fill screen)
TIP: Set the video output from the source device to a 16:9 aspect ratio (wide-screen picture) whenever possible.
Refer to the instructions for the video device. This provides maximum compatibility between the device and
the television.
