CHANGING THE SCREEN ASPECT RATIO
The TV can display images in five different modes: Normal, Stretch,
Panoramic, Wide, and Zoom. Each mode displays the picture
differently.
To change the screen aspect ratio:
1. Press the WIDE button on the
remote.
2. Use the Arrow buttons to
highlight the aspect ratio you
wish to view and press OK.
• Normal preserves the content’s
original aspect ratio. Since the
4:3 aspect ratio is not large
enough to fill the TV’s screen,
black bars are added to the left
and right of the display image.
• Stretch expands the display image to fill the screen.
Images may appear wider than intended. If you are
watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content, black
bars will still appear on the top and bottom of the display
image. This option is only available when the TV is
displaying a 720p/1080i source.
• Panoramic expands the display image to fill the width of
the screen. Images may appear wider than intended. If
you are watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content,
black bars will still appear on the top and bottom of the
display image. This option is only available when the TV
is displaying a 480i/480p source.

Note: Aspect ratio settings may
vary by Input source.
• Wide stretches a 4:3 aspect ratio picture to the edges of
the screen. Since the picture is being stretched, the display
image may appear distorted. If the program is already
formatted for widescreen viewing (1.85:1 or 2.35:1),
then black bars will appear on the top and bottom of the
display image.
• Zoom expands images with black bars to fit the screen.
