The FORMAT Key and Picture Shape

Important

Black bars at the edges of
the screen are common in HD
pictures. Black bars are not a
defect of the TV.

Black bars are added by broad-

casters to fill the 16:9 screen
area while preserving the original
aspect ratio of the picture.
Your cable box or satellite

receiver may also be alter-
ing the broadcast picture. If
your receiver offers output in
native format, try using it with
Mitsubishi picture formats.

Sample Uses of the FORMAT Key
You can use the

FORMAT key to reduce or eliminate black areas at the

edges of the picture.

Press

Squarish 4:3 image is
narrower than the 16:9
screen; unused areas at the
sides are filled with black.

Wide Expand mode stretches
the picture sideways to fill the
screen.

Press

Wide 2.35:1 anamorphic DVD
image; unused areas at the
top and bottom are filled with
black (letterbox effect).

Zoom mode. The picture fills
the screen. All four edges are
cropped in this mode.

Repeatedly press the
FORMAT key to cycle
through displays avail-
able for the current
program. The TV will
remember the format
you last used on each
input.
