Viewing the wide-screen picture formats
You can view programs that have the conventional TV picture format
(4:3 aspect ratio) and the wide-screen format (16:9 aspect ratio). This
feature is available for 1080i digital broadcasts and 480p/480i DVD
signals connected to the ColorStream HD1 and HD2 jacks.
Selecting the image shape
1. Make sure the ColorStream HD1 or HD2 mode is selected. (See
page 39 for details.)
2. Press PIC SIZE repeatedly to select
either Normal, Letterbox, or
Compression image shape, as
described below.
Note: The message “Not Available” will
appear when the PIC SIZE button is pressed
in the mode other than the ColorStream
HD1 or HD2.
While the above menu is on-screen, you can select the desired picture
size by pressing the corresponding number button (0–2).
Normal
The Normal picture size displays the picture in the conventional 4:3
aspect ratio. The picture is stretched vertically to fill the screen.
Letterbox, Compress
The Letterbox and Compression modes display the wide picture
(16:9) with bars at top and bottom. The picture retains its true
proportion.
Letterbox (recommended mode):
• 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.
• Greater chance 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.
