CHANGING THE INPUT SOURCE

External devices such as DVD players, Blu-ray Players, and video

game consoles can be connected to your TV. To use one of

these devices with your TV, you must first change the input

source using the Input menu.

To change the input source:

1. Press the INPUT button on

the remote. The Input menu is

displayed.

2. Use the Up/Down Arrow

buttons or the INPUT button

on the remote to highlight the

input you wish to view and

press OK. The selected input is

displayed.

You change the input names that appear on the

Input menu to make your devices easy to recognize.

See

Renaming Devices on the Input Menu on page

43 for more information.

Note: Inputs may vary by TV.

CHANGING THE SCREEN ASPECT RATIO

The TV can display images in five different modes: Normal, Stretch,

Panoramic, Wide, and Zoom. Each mode displays the picture

differently.

To change the screen aspect ratio:

1. Press the WIDE button on the

remote.

2. Use the Arrow buttons to

highlight the aspect ratio you

wish to view and press OK.
• Normal preserves the content’s

original aspect ratio. Since the

4:3 aspect ratio is not large

enough to fill the TV’s screen,

black bars are added to the left

and right of the display image.

• Stretch expands the display image to fill the screen.

Images may appear wider than intended. If you are

watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content, black

bars will still appear on the top and bottom of the display

image. This option is only available when the TV is

displaying a 720p/1080i source.

• Panoramic expands the display image to fill the screen.

Images may appear wider than intended. If you are

watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content, black

bars will still appear on the top and bottom of the display

image. This option is only available when the TV is

displaying a 480i/480p source.

• Wide stretches a 4:3 aspect ratio picture to the edges

of the screen. Since the picture is being stretched, the

display image may appear distorted. If the program

is already formatted for widescreen viewing (1.85:1 or

2.35:1), then black bars will appear on the top and

bottom of the display image.

• Zoom expands images with black bars to fit the screen.
