Part IV : Operation
Remote Control Functions: Display Formats
This is a wide screen TV (also known as a
16:9 TV). This shape reflects the new types
of images available from HDTV and many
DVDs. There are still many older style narrow
screen images (called 4:3 aspect ratio) you
will encounter. While there will never be a
perfect solution for displaying a narrow image
on a wide screen, Mitsubishi offers several
display formats to choose from.
Press FORMAT on the TV remote control to
cycle through the available display formats.
The Zoom format is not available during
PIP/POP functions.

Standard: This is the full screen format.

HDTV signals will automatically use this
format. This format is also useful to display
Anamorphic DVDs that have 1. 78:1 or 1.
85:1 aspect ratios. Anamorphic DVDs that
have the 2. 35:1 aspect ratio will still dis-
play black bars at the top and bottom.
Narrow (4:3) images will be stretched
evenly from side to side.
Expand: This will enlarge the picture,
2
cropping off some of the image at the top
and bottom. This is useful to reduce the
letterbox top and bottom bars of non-
anamorphic DVDs or to correct narrow
(4:3) images that have been stretched in
the Standard format.
Zoom: This will enlarge the picture, crop-
3
ping off some of the image at each side,
and top and bottom. This is useful to re-
move or reduce the black top and bottom
bars on anamorphic DVDs with a 2.35:1
aspect ratio.
Narrow: This format will display narrow
4
(4:3) images in their original shape, and
add stationary black side bars to fill the
screen.
