USING PICTURE FORMAT CONTROL
Y
our TV’s wide screen (16:9 aspect ratio)
delivers a home-cinema experience not
possible with a conventional (4:3 aspect
ratio) set. High-definition (HD) programs
originating in 16:9 format and other
widescreen-format video sources appear
more lifelike, dramatic, and theatrical.
Border bars are diminished or eliminated.
Most anamorphic-DVD programs will fill the
wide screen without border bars.
Selecting a Picture Format
Using the Remote Control
Use your TV’s picture-format modes
with video sources you connect to the
ANTENNA, CABLE AV1, AV2, AV3,
AV4, AV5, SIDE inputs on the TV. While
watching a video source—with no
onscreen menu or display present—
press the FORMAT button once to see
the currect mode. Press it again to
change to the next mode.
FORMAT
Button
Picture-format Modes
NATIVE (16:9) is the default for your
DTV because HD programs are broad-
cast in this format. Analog channels are
expanded horizontally.
4:3 shows an analog the picture in its
original, conventional (4:3 aspect ratio)
format.
ZOOM expands, or zooms, the picture
both vertically and horizontally, eliminat-
ing or reducing the size of border bars.
PANORAMIC stretches the outer por-
tions of the picture horizontally.
To prevent uneven picture-tube aging,
do not leave border bars or other sta-
tionary images on screen for extended

UNDERSTANDING AUTOLOCK CONTROLS
T
he AutoLock™ feature is an integrated
circuit that receives and processes data
sent by broadcasters, or other program
providers, that contain program content advi-
sories. When programmed by the viewer, a
TV with AutoLock™ can respond to the con-
tent advisories and block program content
that may be found objectionable (such as
offensive language, violence, sexual situations,
etc.). This is a great feature to censor the
type of viewing children may watch.
AutoLock™ offers various BLOCK-
ING controls from which to
choose:
Access Code - An Access Code must
be set to prevent children from
unblocking questionable or censored
programming set by their parents.
Channel Block - After an access code
has been programmed, you can block
individual channels.
Block All - Allows you to block ALL
channels at one time.
Movie Ratings - Certain blocking
options exist which will block program-
ming based on ratings patterned by the
Motion Pictures Association of America.
TV Ratings - Just like the Movie
Ratings, programs can be blocked from
viewing using standard TV ratings set by
TV broadcasters.
MOVIE

USING WEAK DIG SIGNAL
B
ecause Digital broadcasting is still
new it is not uncommon for a
broadcaster to only send out a digital
signal for part of a day. You could also
be on the limit of the signal strength
and the reception comes and goes. If
you program your channels when the
signal is not being sent or is weak it will
not be saved in your channel set up.
However, using the WEAK DIG SIGNAL
feature you can add those channels
with weak signals to your channel list.
