Your HDTV features viewing modes. You can switch viewing modes using the remote control; please see 
instructions in page 34. 

 

 
Normal Mode 
The original 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 source) is preserved, so black bars are 
added to the left and right of the display image.  Standard TV broadcasts are 
displayed with a 4:3 Aspect Ratio. Movies in 4:3 Aspect Ratio may be referred 
to as pan-and-scan or full frame. These movies were originally filmed in 16:9 
(widescreen), and then modified to fit a traditional TV screen (4:3). 

 
Wide Mode 
When watching a standard broadcast or full-frame movie in this mode, 
the display image is stretched proportionately to fill the TV screen. 

When watching a widescreen (1.78:1 source) program or movie, the 
display image fills the TV screen.  If you are watching a widescreen 
(1.85:1 or 2.35:1 source) program or movie, there will still be black 
bars at the top and bottom. 

 

 

When watching a standard definition 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 source) 
the picture will fill the screen but will be stretched horizontally; people 
will look fatter than they are. 

 
Zoom Mode 
When watching a widescreen (1.78:1, 1.85:1, or 2.35:1 source) program or movie, the display image is 
zoomed proportionally to fill the width of the screen. The top and bottom are cut off to remove most of the 
source material’s black bars. This mode is good for programs or movies with sub-titles 

 

 
Panoramic Mode 
When watching a standard broadcast or full frame movie in this mode, 
the 4:3 Aspect Ratio (1.33:1 source) display image is stretched 
horizontally on the left and right sides to fill the TV screen. The center of 
the image is not stretched.
