If the picture format on the screen is
not to your satisfaction, instruct
BeoVision Avant to optimise the
picture for you. You can also choose
to change the picture format
yourself.
On BeoVision Avant, picture formats
are divided into four main groups:
Format 1*. For standard picture sizes.
Adjusts to an optimum picture
size. For NTSC TV sources, choose
Format 1.
Format 2. For letter-box pictures. The
picture is expanded, and can be
moved up or down on the screen.
Format 3. For wide-screen pictures,
16:9 picture format. If the TV
source is a digital TV (DTV) input,
format 3 is selected automatically.
Format 0. For a large-screen picture
in a Home theatre setup. Turn your
family room into a Home theatre
room, move the picture from the
Avant TV to a projector and onto a
large screen. If additional
equipment such as automation of
lights and curtains is available, it
will be activated, too.
*NOTE! Three different picture format sizes are
available when you choose Format 1, each with
black bars surrounding the picture, 15:9, 14:9 or
4:3 picture formats.
