Aspect
Press the A SPECT button on the remote control. The menu shown (left) will appear. To select the aspect ratio
you wish to view, press the A SPECT button to move down the list. Each press will move to the next ratio, the
onscreen display will change automatically. The aspect ratios are:
• PANORAMA. With this ratio a normal 4:3 aspect picture is stretched to fit the
dimensions of the 16:9 aspect screen.
• CINEMA. This ratio “zooms in” on the center part of a 4:3 aspect picture,
blowing it up to fill the 16:9 screen.
• FULL. This is the ratio to use when watching 16:9 High-Definition broad
casts.
• REGULAR. The Regular ratio is used when you want to watch a 4:3 broad
cast or recorded program without modifying the original picture to fit the
dimensions of your 16:9 screen. The 4:3 picture will fill the AV-61S902’s
screen from top to bottom, while black bars will appear to fill up the
remaining space along the picture’s sides. The 4:3 picture will be centered
within the boundaries of the 16:9 screen.
When you have selected the ASPECT ratio you wish to view, either press E NTER or wait a few seconds for the
ASPECT menu to disappear. You may change the ASPECT at any time.

Your television can display images in one of four aspect ratios. The aspect ratio is the ratio of image width
to height as displayed on the screen. The AV-61S902 has a “wide screen” with an aspect ratio of 16:9.
A traditional television picture has an aspect ratio of 4:3. Since you will likely view programs from several
different ratios, this feature will help you adjust your picture image to match, giving you the best possible
picture quality.
