All set!

Using the On-Screen Menu

Your TV features an easy-to-use on-screen menu.

To open the on-screen menu, press the Menu button on the remote.

From this menu, you can:

  • Adjust the Picture settings
  • Adjust the Audio settings
  • Adjust the Network settings
  • Set up the Timers
  • Adjust the Channel settings
  • Set up Closed Captioning
  • Name and adjust Inputs
  • Adjust TV settings
  • View user manual

NAVIGATING THE ON-SCREEN MENU

To open the on-screen menu:

  1. Press the Menu button on the remote.
  2. Use the Arrow buttons to highlight a menu option, and press the OK button to select that option.

While navigating the on-screen menu, you can press the Back button at any time to return to the previous menu screen. The Exit button will close the on-screen menu.

CHANGING THE INPUT SOURCE

External devices such as DVD players, Blu-ray Players, and video game consoles can be connected to your TV. To use one of these devices with your TV, you must first change the input source using the Input menu.

To change the input sources:

  1. Press the Input button on the remote. The Input menu is displayed.
  2. Use the Right/Left Arrow buttons or the Input button on the remote to highlight the input you wish to view and press OK. The selected input is displayed.

You can change the input names that appear on the Input menu to make your devices easy to recognize. See Renaming Devices on the Input Menu for more information.

CHANGING THE SCREEN ASPECT RATIO

The TV can display images in four different modes: Normal, Panoramic, Wide, and Zoom. Each mode displays the picture differently.

Some programs have black bars on the top or sides of the picture so that the picture keeps its original shape. Examples include wide-screen movies and older television programs.

To change the screen aspect ratio:

  1. Press the Wide button on the remote.
  2. Use the Arrow buttons to highlight the aspect ratio you wish to view and press OK.
    • Normal preserves the content’s original aspect ratio and size.
    • Panoramic stretches a 4:3 aspect ratio picture to the left and right edges of the screen. The center of the image is not stretched, but the sides of the image are extremely stretched. If you are watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content with black bars on the top and bottom, the black bars will still appear on the top and bottom of the display image.
    • Wide stretches a 4:3 aspect ratio picture to the edges of the screen. Since the picture is being stretched, the display image may appear distorted—figures appear short and fat. If the program is already formatted for widescreen viewing (1.85:1 or 2.35:1), then black bars will appear on the top and bottom of the display image.
    • Zoom expands images evenly in all directions (33% taller and 33% wider) with black bars to fit the screen. A 720p image will fill a 1080p screen.

Tip: The aspect ratio cannot be changed for Ultra HD content or HDR content.

  • Computer mode optimizes the picture settings for displaying computer output.

If Standard picture mode meets Energy Star® requirements. For the best picture switch to Calibrated mode. Note that Calibrated mode does not meet Energy Star® requirements. Customizing picture setting will change the energy consumption required to operate the TV.

  • Contrast - Adjusts the white level of the picture. When this setting is too low, the picture may appear dark. When this setting is too high, the picture may appear faded or washed out. If the setting is too high or too low, detail may be difficult to distinguish in dark or bright areas of the picture.

  • Tint - Adjusts the hue of the picture. This setting is useful in adjusting the flesh tones in the picture. If flesh appears too orange, reduce the level of color before adjusting tint.
