Some modes can also be manually selected if some pictures appear distorted or stretched,
or subtitle information becomes lost. Follow the guide below to apply the correct setting.
The 16:9 Letterbox mode is used to expand a 16:9 letterbox style
picture so that it uses the full screen to display the picture.
Letterbox type pictures are identifiable by the black bars that
appear on the top and bottom of the screen and some objects
appear stretched (see example 5). Once selected, the 16:9L mode
displays the picture as example 2 on page 16.

If viewing movies or programmes containing screen subtitles whilst in
16 x 9L or 14 x 9L modes, the subtitle may become lost to the bottom
of the screen. To overcome this problem, simply press the SUBTITLE
button once.The SUBTITLE feature compresses the bottom of
the screen allowing the subtitles to be viewed, as in example 7.
If, however, you wish to view Teletext subtitles a further press of the
SUBTITLE button is required, this will then restore the screen to it’s
original setting.

black bars appear at the top and bottom of the screen, and images
become slightly elongated. By selecting 14:9L mode the user can
expand the TV picture to display more of the screen (see example 3
above).
