There are mainly two types of signal format, 16:9 (X19’s 16:9 is named normal) and 4:3. Simply use the ASPECT button on the TV to cycle between both modes and other extra modes. 1. Normal This mode will stretch the picture to a widescreen ratio. If you have a perfect 16:9 ratio picture you will not see any black bars. If you are watching a widescreen movie in 1.85:1 or 2.35:1 ratio, you will still get black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. 2. 4:3 Most analog TV channels have 4:3 signal formats. If the original 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 source) is preserved, black bars are added to the left and right of the display image. This aspect keeps that aspect ratio and shows you the black bars on the side. 3. Zoom When watching a 4:3 aspect ratio TV or movie, this mode zooms in to cut off most of the black bars on the side while preserving the 16:9 ratio. Because of the zoom, the top and bottom are cut off as well. - 31 www.SCEPTRE.com SCEPTRE X19 HDTV User Manual Rating Explained General Operation To block channels you don’t want your children to watch, you can filter them with the ratings function.
