ing angle (vertical and horizontal) to adjust for
clear viewing.
DIMMER can also be used to adjust the bright-
ness of the LCD screen itself to suit your per-
sonal preference.

for convenient operation.
•Point the control in the direction of the signal
reception on the color display to operate.

Changing the wide mode
You can select a desired mode for enlarging a
4:3 picture to a 16:9 one.
1 When viewing an image, press WIDE.
Wide mode in the following order:
Full (FULL) —Just (JUST) —Cinema (CINEMA)
—Zoom (ZOOM) —Normal (NORMAL)
Full (FULL)
A 4:3 picture is enlarged in the horizontal direction
only, enabling you to enjoy a 4:3 TV picture (normal
picture) without any omissions.
Just (JUST)
The picture is enlarged slightly at the center and
the amount of enlargement increases horizontally
to the ends, enabling you to enjoy a 4:3 picture
without sensing any disparity even on a wide
screen.
Cinema (CINEMA)
A picture is enlarged by the same proportion as
FULL or ZOOM in the horizontal direction and by
an intermediate proportion between FULL and
ZOOM in the vertical direction; ideal for a cinema-
sized picture (wide-screen picture) where captions
lie outside.
Zoom (ZOOM)
A 4:3 picture is enlarged in the same proportion
both vertically and horizontally; ideal for a cinema-
sized picture (wide-screen picture).
Normal (NORMAL)
A 4:3 picture is displayed as it is, giving you no
sense of disparity since its proportions are the
same as that of the normal picture.

ing purpose may constitute an infringement
on the author’s rights protected by the
