Format
Use this function to choose your desired aspect ratio.
▪ To match the input image to the correct aspect ratio, six modes
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
enhanced for Widescreen TV.
Native: This format displays the original image without any scal-
ing.
LBX: This format is for non-16x9, letterbox source and for users
who use external 16x9 lens to display 2.35:1 aspect ratio using
full resolution.
Detail informations about LBX mode :
1) Some Letter-Box DVD contents are not enhanced for 16x9 TV,
then image will not look right in 16:9 display.
One can use 4:3 mode to view the correct info.

LBX mode to fi ll the image in the 16x9 display as much as pos-
sible.

to watch a 2.35:1 content (include Anamorphic DVD and HDTV

4:3 modes for most viewing experiences.
