Aspect Ratio based on Program

Even with High Definition or Digital Content Subscriptions, not

all content may be available in those formats. Each individual

program will list if it is available in HD format. Contact your local

service provider for details on your service and available

programming.

In order to receive High Definition, you should use HDMI or

component YPBPR video connection to your video equipment or

coaxial to your over-the-air broadcast antenna. Connection using

the yellow composite or S VIDEO will not provide HD quality

signal to your TV.

3Notes on Your New TV

Picture Quality:

Shown above is a high-definition signal with wide mode (16:9 aspect ratio). A high-

definition signal fills the screen with a crisp, clear picture with no ghosting and less noise.

Shown below is a standard-definition signal with 4:3 aspect ratio. The picture is fine with

the Normal mode, but not as good as the high-definition signal. When a standard-definition

signal is viewed in the Zoom or Wide Zoom mode, you can enjoy an enlarged picture on

your TV screen, but picture quality may vary.

This TV performs best with high-definition signals. Be sure to read the “Considering the

Signal Types” section on this page.

Screen Mode: Normal Screen Mode: Wide Zoom

The illustrations below highlight the differences between high-

definition and standard-definition signals.
