our TV is able to deliver
lifelike, widescreen picture (or
"home cinema" experience) that is
promised with High Definition TV
viewing. The Analog Format
control can be used to expand
conventional 4:3 aspect ratio
(width-to-height) broadcasts in
order to fit your TV's widescreen
format; or to reset the screen to
best match the current
programming.

Note: In the past the
relationship between a TV
screen's width to height, or aspect
ratio, has historically been 33%
wider than the picture screen
height (or a 4:3 aspect ratio). The
widescreen format of your TV
screen is nearly 80% greater than
its measure height (which
accounts for a 16:9 aspect ratio).
The reason for the 16:9 aspect
ratio screen is that it allows for the
dramatic and lifelike viewing of
original version movies and
cinemas (similar to the type found
in your local theaters). And the
16:9 aspect ratio widescreen is
also a good visual match for how
our eyes work in a horizontally
oriented field of view and action
plane.
