[H FIT] Displays images using the entire width of the screen. When signals have the aspect ratio vertically 
longer than the aspect ratio of the screen selected in [SCREEN FORMA
T], the images are displayed 
with the top and bottom parts cut off.
[V FIT] Displays images using the entire height of the screen range selected in [SCREEN FORMA

signals have the aspect ratio horizontally longer than the aspect ratio \
of the screen selected in

*3  Standard signals are input signals with an aspect ratio of 4:3 or 5:4.
*4  Wide-screen signals are input signals with an aspect ratio of 16:10, 16:9, 15:9 or 15:10.
Note
 
f Some size modes are not available for certain types of input signals. [NORMAL] cannot be selected for video signal (NTSC),  Y/C signal

adjustment and zoom function.
 
f If conventional (normal) 4:3 images which are not wide-screen images are displayed on a wide screen, the edges of the images may not 
be visible or they may become distorted. Such images should be viewed as with an aspect ratio of 4:3 in the original format intended by the
