TELEVISION OPERATION
Changing the picture format
The television automatically switches to the 16:9 format if this for-
mat is detected via the Euro-AV socket.
1 Select the picture format with »16:9«. The selected picture for-
mat, for example »16:9«, appears on the screen.
– Y ou can choose between the following picture formats:
»AUTO« format
The picture format is automatically switched to »16:9« for 16:9
programmes.
For programmes in 4:3 format, the picture automatically fills the
screen.
»16:9« and »14:9« formats
During programmes in 4:3 format, the picture is stretched horizon-
tally if »16:9« or »14:9« is selected.
The picture geometry is stretched horizontally.
With actual 16:9 signal sources (from a satellite receiver on the
Euro-AV socket) the picture fills the screen completely and with the
correct geometry.
»4:3« format
The picture is shown in 4:3 format.
»LETTERBOX« format
The letterbox setting is especially suitable for programmes in 16:9
format.
The black borders which are usually at the top and bottom of the
screen are eliminated; 4:3 pictures fill the screen.
The transmitted pictures are enlarged, but are slightly cropped at
the top and bottom. The picture geometry remains unchanged.
»SUBTITLE« format
If you cannot read the subtitles which appear on the bottom of the
screen, then select »SUBTITLE«.
