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-56WP30 or AV-48WP30 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.
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 norma! 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 broadcasts.
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-56WP30’s or AV-48WP30’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.
