Bang & Olufsen Beovision 7 40 Television User Guide

							
Picture format 
Your television always ensures you the best possible picture. It automatically adapts the 
picture so that it fills out as much of the screen as possible. However, you can always 
choose the format you prefer. When you  select a format yourself, the automatic 
format selection is deactivated, until you  switch to a different channel or change 
source.

FORMAT 1 … For standard T V pictures. Two  variations are available: Panoramic view (for the largest picture) and 4:3. 
FORMAT 2 … For letter-box pictures. When you  select FORMAT 2, the picture is automatically 
adjusted vertically. This ensures that channel  names or subtitles – if these appear in the broadcasted picture – can be seen.
FORMAT 3 … For genuine 16:9 wide-screen  pictures.
