Picture Format - Toshiba 19DV665DB Owner's Manual

The broadcaster may transmit a Wide Screen Signaling (WSS) signal which can determine the correct picture width and set it
automatically when the 'Auto' setting is used. If you want to change this setting, you can select from the formats listed below.
Notes:
• When the picture size is set
to Auto mode, the aspect ratio
will automatically change
according to the WSS signal,
if it is available. This may either
be transmitted by the broadcasting
TV channel, or via a recording
from a VCR etc. Any WSS signal
received will only be effective in
Auto mode - however, some DVD
players/Digital Decoders etc. will
automatically switch the aspect
ratio via a SCART input (Pin 8
switching), even if Auto is not
selected.
In any case, if you want to
change to a different aspect
ratio to the one selected
automatically, you can change
it by pressing PIC SIZE.
• In PC mode, the picture size
settings is available only for
16:9 or 4:3 format.
• In HDMI or Component mode
of scanning rate: 720p and
1080i, the picture size settings
is available only for 16:9 or
Real (HDMI mode only) format.
Auto picture size
Press PIC SIZE repeatedly until 'Auto' appears on-screen.
Picture format setting
Press PIC SIZE repeatedly to scroll through the following options.
4:3
This mode shows a picture in the standard 4:3 size with black side bars.
Real (HDMI mode only)
This picture is displayed with original size.
16:9
This mode is used with 16:9 signals from a Digital decoder, DVD player or other
external source. The picture is uniformly stretched – a 4:3 image is horizontally
stretched to fill the screen (For example, a 16:9 image is often stored 'anamorphically'
on a DVD, where the 16:9 image is stored as a horizontally compressed 4:3 image –
this mode restores the image to its correct 16:9 proportions).
Cinema
This mode is used to zoom-in on (expand) 4:3 'letterbox' format pictures (with black
side bars on the top and bottom of the picture) so that they fill more of the screen.
Note:
• In the Cinema mode, part of the picture may be slightly cut off due to the expansion.
However, it is possible to scroll the picture up or down to view the top or bottom part
of the picture.
14:9
This mode enlarges a standard 4:3 picture to the 14:9 format.
