SCREEN FORMAT
If you receive an image with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the image will be displayed at that ratio
on your HDTV unless you specify otherwise. The Screen Format menu allows you to
adjust the image through the following options:
Normal Choose this when receiving a 4:3 image and you want the on-screen
appearance of the video to be a centered picture with side panels (blank areas) on the
right and left sides.
Full Choose this when you want the television to adjust the 4:3 image horizontally so
it fills your 16:9 screen. No side panels will be added, and the image is vertically
unaltered. This setting is especially useful for viewing 16:9 formatted DVDs.
Fill Choose this when receiving a 4:3 image and you do not want side panels on the
right and left sides of the screen. The television will adjust the image both horizontally
and vertically so it fills the height and width of your 16:9 screen with no side panels
added. It will also maintain the correct image proportion. Use with material such as
"letterboxed" Iaserdiscs or VCR tapes.
Smooth Wide Choose this when receiving a 4:3 image and you do not want side
panels on the right and left sides of the screen. The television will proportionally adjust
the image horizontally so it fills your 16:9 screen with no apparent distortion or side
panels added.
