Changing the Aspect Ratio
The Aspect menu enables you to set aspect ratios (ratios of width to height) for the display. When
watching a movie, for example, you may wish to select Wide to recreate the dimensions of a theater
screen.
To access aspect ratio settings:
1. Press the MENU button to view the main menu.
2 Press the UP/DOWN ( / ) button to select “Aspect”, then press the ENTER button.
3. Press the LEFT/RIGHT ( / ) button to toggle through option settings for a user setting, then press
the MENU button twice to exit the menu.
The aspect ratios can also be selected by pressing the WIDE button on the remote control. See the
“Changing the Aspect Ratio” in Chapter 4: Getting Started.
Four aspect ratio options are available:
Aspect Ratio Description
Normal* Sets the picture to 4:3 aspect ratio.
Wide Sets the picture to 16:9 aspect ratio.
Fill The image fills the entire screen.
Zoom The central portion of the image is enlarged to fill the screen.
* When viewing in Normal mode, black bars appear on the left and right sides of the screen. Over a long
time, this may causes “burn in”, a process where a faint image appears permanently on the screen. We
recommend viewing in Wide or Fill mode.
