This is a widescreen TV, also known as a 16:9 TV.  This 

shape reflects the new types of images available from 
HDTV and many DVDs.  There are still many older style 
narrow-screen images (called 4:3 aspect ratio) you will 
encounter.  While there is no perfect solution for dis-
playing a squarish, narrower image on a wide screen, 
Mitsubishi offers several display formats from which 
you can choose.

Press 

FORMAT on the TV remote control to cycle through 

the available display formats. The last-used format for 
each device is used when you return to that device.

480i Signals:  Traditional analog interlaced signals 

from or through 

ANT-1 and 2, INPUT 1–3, COMPONENT 

and 

HDMI jacks.

480p Signals:  Progressive-scan DVD signals on COM-

PONENT and HDMI jacks.

720p and 1080i Signals:  High-definition signals 

received through 

COMPONENT and HDMI jacks.  These 

signals are always 16:9 (widescreen).

SD 4:3:  

Standard-definition squarish-screen format 

signals from digital channels on 

ANT 1 and ANT 2.

SD 16:9:  

Standard-definition widescreen format signals 

from digital channels on 

ANT 1 and ANT 2.

HD:  

High-definition wide-screen format signals from 

digital channels on 

ANT 1 and ANT 2.  These signals are 

always 16:9 (widescreen).

Anamorphic (or Enhanced for WideScreen TV)
These DVDs are recorded in a special way to prop-
erly show widescreen images on 16:9 TV sets using 
the Standard format mode.  This is the recommended 
viewing choice.

Non-Anamorphic (or 4:3, 1:33:1, Letter Box, or Full 
Screen)
These DVDs are recorded for use with traditionally 
shaped, squarish TVs.  They may be full screen (4:3 or 
1:33:1) which crops movies to fit the narrow TV, or letter 
box, which adds black top and bottom bars.

This information may be listed on the DVD case.  Some 
DVDs support both types of recordings. 

Standard:  This is the full-screen format.  HDTV signals 
use this format.  This format is useful for displaying 

Anamorphic DVDs that have 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 aspect 

ratios.  Anamorphic DVDs that have a 2.35:1 aspect 
ratio are displayed with black bars at the top and 
bottom, but show the entire image correctly.  Narrow 

(4:3) images are stretched evenly from side to side.  

Available for all signals.

Expand:  This enlarges the picture to fill the screen, 
cropping off some of the image at the top and bottom.  

This is useful for reducing the letter box top and bottom 

bars of non-anamorphic DVD images.  Available for 

480i, 480p, and digital SD 4:3 signals only.

Zoom:  This enlarges the picture, cropping off some 
of the image at each side and top and bottom.  This 
is useful for removing or reducing the black top and 

bottom bars on anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1 aspect 
ratio.  Available for 480i, 480p, and SD 4:3 signals only.

Stretch:  This format stretches a narrow (4:3) image 
across the screen; there is less stretch in the center 
than at the sides, however.  This allows the entire 
narrow image to be displayed across the screen with 
less distortion than is seen in the Standard format.  

Available for 480i, 480p, and SD 4:3 signals only.

Stretch Plus:  Similar to stretch mode, but to minimize 
distortions on the side, the picture is expanded to crop 
off portions of the top and bottom.  Except when dis-
playing menus, press     to adjust the position of the 
picture vertically.  Available for 480i, 480p, and SD 4:3 
signals only.

Narrow:  This format displays narrow (4:3) images in 
their original shape, and adds stationary black side 
bars to fill the screen.  Available for 480i, 480p, and SD 

4:3 signals only.

Wide Expand:  Enlarges the picture, cropping some of 
the image on both sides.  This Expand format is useful 
to remove or reduce black side bars added to narrow 
images that are converted to 16:9 signals for digital 
broadcast.  Available for 1080i, 720p, digital SD 16:9 
and digital HD signals.

Note:  All high-definition channels send widescreen 

(16:9) signals, but not all programming sent on 
these channels was created for this format.  The 

broadcaster may stretch the image or add side 
bars to fill the widescreen area.
