Aspect
Your television
can display images in one of four aspect ratios. The aspect
ratio is the ratio of
image width to height as displayed
on the screen. The AV-56WP30
or AV-48WP30
has a "wide
screen" with an aspect
ratio of 16:9.
A traditional
television
picture has an aspect ratio of 4:3. Since you will likely view programs
from several different
ratios, this feature will help you adjust your picture image to match, giving
you the best possible
picture quality.
Press the ASPECT button on the remote control. The menu shown (left) witt appear. To select
the aspect
ratio you wish to view, press the ASPECT button to move down the list. Each press
will move to the next ratio, the onscreen
display will change automatically.
The aspect
ratios
are:
• PANORAMA
- With this ratio a normai 4:3 aspect picture is
stretched
to fit the dimensions
of the 16:9 aspect screen.
• CINEMA
- This ratio "zooms
in" on the center part of a 4:3
aspect picture,
blowing it up to filt the 16:9 screen.
• FULL - This is the ratio to use when watching
16:9
High-Definition
broadcasts.
• REGULAR
- The Reguiar ratio is used when you want to watch a
4:3 broad cast or recorded
program without
modifying
the originai
picture to fit the dimensions
of your !6:9 screen. The 4:3 picture
will fill the AV-56WP30's
or AV-48WP30's
screen from top to
bottom, while black bars wilt appear to fili up the
remaining
space aiong the picture's
sides. The 4:3 picture will be
centered
within the boundaries
of the 16:9 screen.
When you have selected the ASPECT
ratio you wish to view, either press ENTER or wait a few
seconds for the ASPECT
menu to disappear.
