ADVANCED REMOTE FEATURES
USING PICTURE-IN-PICTURE (PIP)
The Picture-In-Picture (PIP) feature
allows you to display a subscreen
within your main screen and watch two
video sources at once. Because your set

Tune to your favorite show on the main
screen while scanning other AV inputs in
the PIP window. See panel 24 to select
the PIP source.
1Press the PIP button to
turn PIP on.
2Press the PIP button a sec-
ond time to make the PIP win-
dow smaller.
3To select a video source to
watch in the PIP window, see
“Selecting a PIP Source”on
panel 24.

Press the POS button. Each time
you press this button, the PIP screen
moves to another corner of the main
screen.

ADVANCED REMOTE FEATURES
USING PICTURE FORMAT CONTROL
Your 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
periods of time.

jection tubes: one for red, one for
green, and one for blue. When mixed in
proper proportion, the beams of light
coming from the tubes can produce any
color. To create a clear picture, however,
these color beams must be precisely
aligned. This alignment is called conver-
gence.
NOTE: Allow the TV to warm up for 20
minutes before adjusting convergence.
