The FORMAT Key and Picture Shape
Important
Black bars at the edges of 
the screen are common in HD 
pictures.  Black bars are not a 
defect of the TV.
Black bars are added by broad-
casters to fill the 16:9 screen 
area while preserving the original 
aspect ratio of the picture.
Your cable box or satellite 
receiver may also be alter-
ing the broadcast picture.  If 
your receiver offers output in 
native format, try using it with 
Mitsubishi picture formats.
Sample Uses of the FORMAT Key
You can use the 
FORMAT key to reduce or eliminate black areas at the 
edges of the picture.
Press
Squarish 4:3 image is 
narrower than the 16:9 
screen; unused areas at the 
sides are filled with black.
Wide Expand mode stretches 
the picture sideways to fill the 
screen.
Press
Wide 2.35:1 anamorphic DVD 
image; unused areas at the 
top and bottom are filled with 
black (letterbox effect).
Zoom mode.  The picture fills 
the screen.  All four edges are 
cropped in this mode.
Repeatedly press the 
FORMAT key to cycle 
through displays avail-
able for the current 
program.  The TV will 
remember the format 
you last used on each 
input.
