The FO RMAT Key and Picture Shape
Important
Black bars at the edges of the
picture are common in HD
pictures. Black bars are not a
defect of the TV.
Black bars are added by broad-
casters to fill the 16:9 screen
area while preserving the original
aspect ratio of the picture.
Your cable box, satellite receiver,
or DVD player may also be alter-
ing the broadcast picture. If your
device offers output in native
format, try using it with Mitsubi-
shi’s picture formats.
Sample Uses of the
FORMAT
Key

TV Signals and Display Formats
This is a 16:9 widescreen TV suitable for images available
from HDTV and many DVDs. You can view older-style,
squarish images (4:3 aspect ratio) using one of the display
formats described on this page (press the
FORMAT
key to
cycle through available display formats).
All high-definition channels send widescreen (16:9)
signals, but not all programming was created for the
widescreen format. The broadcaster may stretch the
image or add side bars to fill the widescreen area.
