Appendix 3: About High-Denition
For a standard 4:3 TV showing a wide screen program, the program is too wide to fit on the screen. To alleviate this, choose:
With this format, the 16:9 image is shrunk until the entire width of the program fits on your TV. Since the aspect ratio of the program is
maintained, the image is no longer tall enough to fill your screen, so gray or black bars are seen at the top and bottom of the screen. To
change the bar color, press MENU, select Parental, Fav’s & Settings, then System Setup, then select the Display menu. Highlight the
Preferences tab and press SELECT, then set Bar Color option to the desired color. See your TV owner manual for information on the
best color for your set.
The following table shows the resolutions that can be output from each type of connection:
HDMI 1080i, 720p, 480i, 480p
Component Video (YPbPr) 1080i, 720p, 480i, 480p
S-Video 480i

Note:
720p and 1080i are HD formats. 480i and 480p are not.
S-Video and RCA outputs display all resolutions as 480i.
