Settings
Set the VIMA’s television format to match the television format
of the television, video camera, or DVD player that is
connected.
Change this setting if the image is not correctly shown on the
television, or if the image from your video camera or DVD
player is not displayed correctly.
Set this to the broadcast format used in your area.
This setting changes the proportional relationship between the
vertical and horizontal dimensions of the image that is output
from the VIMA to the television or display connected to the
VIDEO OUTPUT [VIDEO] jack or VIDEO OUTPUT [S-VIDEO]
connector.
The VIMA’s display screen has a horizontal/vertical ratio of
16:9. Televisions and displays have screen sizes with a
horizontal/vertical ratio of 4:3 or 16:9 (wide screen).
You can’t change the aspect ratio of the image that
is output from the ANALOG RGB OUTPUT connector
to an external display or a television.
If you’re viewing images on a television or display connected
to the VIDEO OUTPUT [VIDEO] jack or VIDEO OUTPUT [S-
VIDEO] connector, change this setting as appropriate for the
aspect ratio of the television or display you’ve connected.

If the image is still not shown correctly even though you
have adjusted the VIMA’s aspect ratio to match the
television or display you’ve connected, please change
the settings of the connected television or display.
