Only The Screen Mode feature lets you watch 4:3 normal broadcasts in
several wide screen modes (16:9 aspect ratio).
❑ Press SCREEN MODE repeatedly to toggle through the following
settings.
When you change channels or inputs, the Screen Mode settings revert
to the
4:3 Default setting in the Screen menu. To retain the current
Screen Mode setting as channels and inputs are changed, set 4:3 Default
to Off . For details, see page 51.
✍
When viewing high-definition programs broadcast in 720p/1080i, it is not
possible to change Screen Modes because those video formats are already
widescreen.
You can also change the Screen
Mode settings in the Screen menu.
For details, see page 50.
