Example of setting
Note
[Auto wide] in [Screen] to [Wide zoom] or [Zoom], which will remain in effect until you
change the channel/input or manually change the [Wide mode] setting again.
[Auto wide] in [Screen] will not expand the picture while the content switches since
the content information is regulated by the channel signal provider. You can
manually change the [Wide mode] setting if desired, which will remain in effect until
you change the channel/input or manually change the [Wide mode] setting again.
The Picture size depends on the signal content.
The picture becomes smaller during commercials due to the method used by the provider to
broadcast content. When HD content channels switch to SD content (commercials), the
picture may become small with a black border.
Some wide screen programs are filmed in aspect ratios that are greater than 16:9 (this is
especially common with theatrical releases). Your TV will show these programs with black
bands at the top and bottom of the screen. For more details, check the documentation that
came with your BD/DVD (or contact your program provider).
Programs broadcast in HD formats (720p and 1080i) with 4:3 content will commonly have
black bands on the left and right sides of the screen which are added by the broadcaster.
Hint
Some cable and satellite set-top boxes can also control the size of the picture. If you
are using a set-top box, refer to the manufacturer of the set-top box for more
information.
