The Aspect button allows you to change the shape of the television image depending on the format of the received signal, and your viewing performance. For example, standard analog (4:3) images with black side bars can be stretched to fill your TV’s wide (16:9) aspect. However, high definition signals (720P/1080i) which originated as 4:3 images with side bars and are up-converted by broadcaster to 16:9 can not be changed on some models. The models, including TH-42PD60, TH-37PX60, TH-42PX60, TH-50PX60, TH-58PX60, TH-42PX600, TH-50PX600 and TH-58PX600 employ a new “H-FILL” mode which allows you to change the aspect on high definition signals (720P/1080i).
