While the above menu is on the screen, you can select the desired
picture size by pressing the corresponding number button (0-2).
Normal
Tile Normal picture size displays tile picture in tile conventional 4:3
aspect ratio. The picture is stretched vertically to fill the screen.
Letterbox, Compression
The Letterbox and Compression modes display a wide-screen (16:9)
picture with bars at the top and bottom of the screen. The picture
retains its true proportion.
Letterbox (recommended ,node):
• Picture is horizontally stretched, with bars at the top and bottom.
• Lower picture quality than in the Compression mode because of a
reduction in the scanning lines.
• Slightly lower chance of permanently
engraining stationary patterns on the
picture tube than in the Compression
mode.
Compression:
• Picture is vertically compressed,
with bars at the top and bottom.
• Better picture quality than in the
Letterbox mode because of more
effective use of scanning lines.
Letterbox and Compression
modes have bars at top and
bottom of screen. See "Notice of
possible adverse effects on TV
picture tube," at right.
• Greaterchance of permanently engraining stationary patterns on
the picture tube than in the Letterbox mode, since there is no
raster in the bars at top and bottom.
Note:
You can also change the image shape using
the menu system. Select IMAGE SHAPE
