can be selected: 16:9, 4:3, Native, LBX, Format 1, Format 2.
▪ Default modes are 16:9, 4:3, Native and LBX.
4:3: This format is for 4x3 input sources not enhanced for Wi-
descreen TV.
16:9: This format is for 16x9 input sources, like HDTV and DVD

ing.
LBX: This format is for non-16x9, letterbox source and for users

full resolution.
