Zoom

Wide

Wide will display a 4:3 picture at a 16:9 size, with less
horizontal elongation necessary to fill the screen because a
little bit of the top and bottom will be cut off.

Full

Full will display a 4:3 picture at a 16:9 size, with horizontal
elongation necessary to fill the screen.

Zoom

Zoom will magnify the entire 4:3 picture to fill the screen, with
no horizontal elongation to fill the screen, as more of the top
and bottom are cut off. Use this mode to view letterboxed 4:3
picture content to get a widescreen picture. A 16:9 picture will
be magnified similarly, but to a lesser extent.

Each time you change the screen mode, the
name of the selected mode is displayed on the
screen for approximately 4 seconds.
The SCREEN MODE button switches between
the screen modes in the following pattern.

NOTE:

• When switching the input signal, the audio mute

turns ON temporarily.

• You can only select the "Normal" and "Zoom"

screen modes for 1080i and 720p video signals
connected to the COMPONENT 2 terminal.
