TELEVISION OPERATION
___________________
Changing the picture format
The television automatically switches to the 16:9 format, if this
format is recognised by the Euro-AV socket.
1 Select the picture format with » E «. The selected picture
format, for example »16:9«, appears on the screen.
– You can choose between the following picture formats:
»Auto« format
The picture format is automatically switched to »16:9« with 16:9
channels.
For programmes in 4:3 format, the picture automatically fills the
screen.
»4:3« format
For 4:3 programmes, select picture format »4:3«.
»16:9« and »14:9« formats
During programmes in 4:3 format, the picture is stretched horizon-
tally if »16:9« or »14:9« is selected.
The picture geometry is stretched horizontally.
With actual 16:9 signal sources (from a SET-TOP box on the
Euro-AV socket) the picture fills the screen completely and with the
correct geometry.
»Letterbox« format
Letterbox setting is especially suitable for programmes in 16:9
format.
The black borders which are usually at the top and bottom of the
screen are eliminated, 4:3 pictures fill the screen.
The transmitted pictures are enlarged, but are slightly cropped at
the top and bottom. The picture geometry remains unchanged.
»Subtitle 1« and »Subtitle 2« format
If you cannot read the subtitles which appear on the bottom of the
screen (especially during programmes with 4:3 format and if the
»Letterbox« format is selected), then select »Subtitle 1«.
If you are still unable to read the subtitles, select »Subtitle 2«.
