    Wide Menu 
    Select how the picture displays on the screen. As you  select an option, you will see the screen adjusting 
    to the different sizes. The options vary depen ding on the selected input and the TV program: 
    Normal 
    The original 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 source) is preserved, so black bars are 
    added to the left and right of the displa y image.  Standard TV broadcasts are 
    displayed with a 4:3 Aspect Ratio. Movies in 4:3 Aspect Ratio may be referred 
    to as pan-and-scan or full frame. These  movies were originally filmed in 16:9 
    (widescreen), and then modified to fit a traditional TV screen (4:3). 
     
    Wide 
    Wide mode allows you to view the entire picture. This is recommended for HDMI and RGB (Computer) 
    viewing so you can see the complete picture with out the image overstretching beyond the viewing area. 
    For 720p, 1080i, 1080p only. 
     
    Zoom 
    Zoom mode will zoom in to the center of the image,  allowing 4:3 images to be viewed in original aspect 
    ratio without stretching the black bars. The top  and the bottom of the image are cropped out, though. 
     
    Panoramic 
    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. 
     
     
    Stretch 
    When watching a widescreen program  (1.78:1 source) with black bars on 
    the sides, the display image will stre tch to fill the TV screen. People will 
    appear wider than they really are. 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. This mode is available only when watching a 
    widescreen program.
