Screen format determines the format and size of the picture
on the display screen. Press OK to continue.

Use this screen to set a default
for how video is displayed for:
Antenna Input- Analog.
Each input can have different
Screen Format and AFS settings.

To the left are examples of
different Screen Format modes
on 4:3 and 16:9 video. Cinerama
canʼt be used for 16:9 signals, so
Normal is applied.

While watching TV, override the
menu default with the FORMAT
key. Going to a new input
restores the menu default.

Screen Format

The Screen Format feature allows you to change how the image is displayed on
screen. The options are Normal, Cinerama, FlexWide, or Zoom. If you want to
adjust your image, choose an option below:

Normal

The image of a 4:3 video signal is centered with bars on the right

and left sides of the screen. The 16:9 image is kept to its 16:9 format.

Cinerama

The image of a 4:3 video signal is centered, expanding in the

horizontal direction to fi ll the display with little distortion. Cinerama isn’t
available for 16:9, so the Normal format is displayed.

FlexWide

The image of a 4:3 video signal is stretched horizontally by

approximately 33% while the vertical size stays the same. The 16:9 image is
compressed in width.

Zoom

The image of a 4:3 video signal increases by approximately 33%

and the vertical size increases by approximately 33%. Edges of the image
might be cropped. The 16:9 image is zoomed in on, possibly cropping the
edges of the image.

Note:

When recording from the AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUT jacks, use

Normal or FlexWide to record the video closest to its original format.

Turn on Automatic Format Switching so that as you change channels, the TV
will change formats for you.

Notes:

The format of some video cannot be changed.

The FORMAT button on the remote lets you change the format with a
one-button press rather than navigating to the
Screen Format menu.

Time Menu

The Time menu lets you set up time-related features. Time menu consists of
Sleep Timer, Wake-Up Timer, and Time of Day.
