Picture format
The broadcaster may transmit a Wide Screen Signalling (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. Press PICTURE SIZE repeatedly until AUTO appears. See Note below.

AUTO

Manual format setting

Pressing PICTURE SIZE repeatedly scrolls through the following options. 4:3 This mode shows a 4:3 picture in its original size and shape with vertical bands on the left and right side.

FULL SCREEN Stretches the left and right hand sides of a 4:3 picture horizontally to fill the screen, while leaving the centre of the picture unstretched.

Note: In this mode the picture is geometrically distorted on the left and the right sides of the screen. 16:9 This mode is used with 16:9 signals from a Digital decoder, DVD player or other external source. This uniformly stretches a 4:3 image horizontally 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).

(FULL SCREEN)

Notes: � When the PICTURE SIZE is set to AUTO, the aspect ratio will automatically change according to the Wide Screen Signalling (WSS) signal, if it is available. This may be either transmitted by the broadcasting TV channel, or via a recording from a VCR etc. Any WSS signal received will only be effective in the AUTO mode - however, some DVD players / Digital Decoders etc. will automatically switch the aspect ratio via the 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 PICTURE SIZE. � In PC mode, the PICTURE SIZE feature is available only for 16:9 or 4:3 format. (In �WXGA INPUT� mode, the PICTURE SIZE feature is not available.) � In HDMI or COMPONENT mode of scanning rate: 720p and 1080i, the PICTURE SIZE feature is available only for 16:9 format. � Using the special functions to change the size of the displayed image (i.e. changing the height/width ratio) for the purposes of public display or commercial gain may infringe on copyright laws.

CINEMA This mode is used to zoom-in on (expand) 4:3 �letterbox� format pictures (with black bars at the top and bottom) so that they fill more of the screen.

(16:9)

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 (see page 28). 14:9 This enlarges a 4:3 picture to the 14:9 format.
