Part IV : Operation
Remote Control Functions: Display Formats
This is a wide screen TV (also known as a
16:9 TV). This shape reflects the new types
of images available from HDTV and many
DVDs. There are still many older style narrow
screen images (called 4:3 aspect ratio) you
will encounter. While there will never be a
perfect solution for displaying a narrow image
on a wide screen, Mitsubishi offers several
display formats to choose from.
Press FORMAT on the TV remote control to
cycle through the available display formats. 1 Standard: This is the full screen format.
HDTV signals will automatically use this
format. This format is also useful to display
Anamorphic DVDs that have 1. 78:1 or 1.
85:1 aspect ratios. Anamorphic DVDs that
have the 2. 35:1 aspect ratio will still dis-
play black bars at the top and bottom.
Narrow (4:3) images will be stretched
evenly from side to side.
The Zoom format is not available during
PIP/POP functions.
Display Formats
4 Narrow: This format will display narrow
(4:3) images in their original shape, and
add stationary black side bars to fill the
screen.
3 Zoom: This will enlarge the picture, crop-
ping off some of the image at each side,
and top and bottom. This is useful to re-
move or reduce the black top and bottom
bars on anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1
aspect ratio.
2 Expand: This will enlarge the picture,
cropping off some of the image at the top
and bottom. This is useful to reduce the
letterbox top and bottom bars of non-
anamorphic DVDs or to correct narrow
(4:3) images that have been stretched in
the Standard format.
