Screen size selection
When this unit is connected to the plasma display
PDP-502MXE, it incorporates screen modes of various
height and width ratios. For optimal viewing, we
recommend that you select the screen mode that best
matches the video source that you are viewing. Although
these modes are designed for full display of a picture on a
wide screen, it is our hope that you make use of them
with a full understanding of the manufacturer's intentions.
