Screen Format
The Screen Format feature allows you to change how the image is displayed on screen.
The options are Normal, Stretch, Squeeze, or Zoom. If you want to adjust your image,
choose an option below:
Normal The image of a 4 x 3 video signal is centered with bars on the right and left
sides of the screen. The 16 x 9 image is kept to its 16 x 9 format.
Stretch The image of a 4 x 3 video signal is centered, expanding in the horizontal
direction and cropping video at the sides. A 16 x 9 video signal expands horizontally.
Squeeze A 4 x 3 image is compressed horizontally, adding bars to the sides. A
16 x 9 image is also compressed horizontally.
Zoom The image of a 4 x 3 or 16 x 9 video signal expands horizontally and
vertically, cropping all sides of the image.
Turn on Automatic Format Switching so that as you change channels, the TV will change
formats for you.
Notes: The format of some video cannot be changed.
The FORMAT button on the remote lets you change the format with a one-button
press rather than navigating to the Screen Format menu.

The Advanced Picture options let you enhance picture performance and adjust picture
position. When you select Advanced Picture, a submenu appears with options:
Auto Flesh Tone Minimizes the fl esh tone variations of the TV picture. Choose On
or Off, depending on your preference.

• Cool More blue.
• Normal Standard picture color.
• Warm More red.
Video Noise Filter Displays a list that lets you set one of the three settings that
allows you to reduce picture “static” or any type of interference. A different Noise
Reduction setting can be stored for each input, but only applies to devices connected
to the composite inputs. You can set the Noise Reduction to Frame Comb, Advanced
Frame Comb, or Off. The settings are explained in the on-screen help text.
Green Enhance Makes green “greener” and increases the saturation. For example,
nature shows and sporting events are especially enhanced by this feature. The options
are On and Off.
Detail Enhance Makes the edges of the video steeper, sharper, and crisper. There
are two options for the this menu: On or Off. If artifacts appear in the video, change
the setting to Off.
