Composite. The video signal is carried through
a single “pin.” This connection method is the
one that is most commonly found on devices.
S-Video. The video signal is split into two
signals, black-and-white and color. Text
displayed on-screen through this connection
will be noticeably sharper than composite or
coaxial (RF).
Best
Component. The video signal is split into three
signals, two color, and one black-and-white.

superior picture provided by signal sources as
HDTV and DVD.

Viewing mode and volume are saved based on input. For example,

back to DVD input, the viewing mode will return to widescreen and
your volume will be high.
Viewing modes
Viewing Mode
Description
Standard mode. The original 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 source) is
preserved, so black bars are added to the left and right of the display
image.
Standard TV broadcasts are displayed with a 4:3 aspect ratio. Movies in
4:3 may be referred to as pan-and-scan or full frame. These movies were
originally filmed in 16:9 (widescreen), then were modified to fit a traditional
TV screen (4:3).
Widescreen mode. When watching a standard broadcast or full-frame
movie in this mode, the display image is stretched proportionately to fill
the TV screen.
When watching a widescreen (1.76:1 source) program or movie the
display image fills the TV screen.
If you are watching a widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1 source) program or
movie, there will still be black bars at the top and bottom.
Panoramic mode. When watching a standard broadcast or full-frame
movie in this mode, the 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 source) display image is
stretched horizontally on the left and right sides to fill the TV screen. The
center of the image is not stretched.

Viewing Mode
Description
Zoom mode. When watching a widescreen (1.76:1, 1.85:1, or 2.35:1
source) program or movie, the display image is zoomed proportionally to
fill the width of the screen. The top and bottom are cut off to remove most
of the source material’s black bars. This mode is good for programs or
movies with subtitles.
Picture-in-Picture (PIP) mode
Your LCD TV features PIP m ode so you can watch two pictures at th e sam e tim e. You can
use PIP m ode if your PIP video in put source is set to TV, AV1, AV2/S, or 480i DVD.

You cannot use HDTV, VGA, DVI, or 480p DVD video as
