Toshiba 50H72 Manuale Utente

Letterbox and Compression modes
The Letterbox and Compression modes display the wide picture
(16:9) with bars at top and bottom. The picture retains its true
proportion.

• The picture is horizontally stretched, with gray bars at the top

and bottom.

• The picture quality is lower than in the Compression mode

because of a reduction in the scanning lines.

• There is a slightly  lower chance of permanently engraining

stationary patterns in the picture tube than in Compression mode
because there is a small amount of raster in the bars at the top
and bottom.

• The picture is vertically compressed, with black bars at the top

and bottom.

• The exact image is reproduced and the picture quality is better

because of more effective use of scanning lines.

• There is a greater chance of permanently engraining stationary

patterns in the picture tube than in the Letterbox mode, since
there is no raster in the bars at the top and bottom.

• The picture is enlarged vertically and horizontally to fill the

screen.

• Some of the image on the left and right is lost.
• The chance of permanently engraining stationary patterns in the

picture tube is greatly reduced, since there are no bars at the top
or bottom in Zoom mode.

Avoid displaying stationary images on
your TV screen for extended periods
of time. Fixed (non-moving) images
(such as still PIP/POP windows or
black/gray bars in wide-screen picture
or PIP/POP formats) can become
permanently engrained in the picture
tube. This type of damage is NOT
COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY
because it is the result of misuse. See
item 32 on page 4.
