Setting Image View

Image View modifies the aspect ratio of the TV image by stretching, zooming or adding gray bars. Since many TVs disable their aspect ratio controls when connected with HDMI, Image View lets you make sure the image fits properly on your TV screen.

To select an Image View setting:

Before you begin

To set Image View:
  1. The system console must be connected to the TV via HDMI
  2. The system Widescreen TV setting must be Yes. For more info, see Using the Widescreen TV setting
  3. If the system Video resolution setting is Fixed, the connected device needs to send a resolution of 720p or greater. For more info, see Setting video resolution
Note: Each HDMI video source can have a separate Image View setting.

On the remote control, press the Image View button repeatedly to scroll though the available settings.
