- 62 - www.SCEPTRE.com Detailed Explanations Aspect Ratio Explained The X23 is a widescreen TV, but most TV programs are still broadcasting in a square format, therefore the TV is offering two ways of viewing videos. There are mainly two types of signal format, 16:9 (X23’s 16:9 is named full) and 4:3. Simply use the ASPECT button on the TV to cycle between both modes. 1. Full This mode will stretch the picture to a widescreen ratio. If you have a perfect 16:9 ratio picture you will not see any black bars. If you are watching a widescreen movie in 1.85:1 or 2.35:1 ratio, you will still get black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. 2. 4:3 Most analog TV channels have 4:3 signal formats. If the original 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 source) is preserved, black bars are added to the left and right of the display image. This aspect keeps that aspect ratio and shows you the black bars on the side.

- 63 - www.SCEPTRE.com Closed Captioning (digital and analog) Explained • Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. It allows you to view conservations, narration and sound effects as subtitles on your TV. Closed Captions are available on most TV program, and on some VHS home video tapes, at the election of the program provider. • Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption service available on digital TV programs (also at the election of the service provider). It is a more flexible system than the original Closed Caption system, because it allows a variety of caption sizes and font styles. • Not all programs and VHS video tapes offer closed caption. Please look for the CC symbol to ensure that captions will be shown. • In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than one caption service provided. Each is identified by its own number. The CC1 and CC2 services display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the program’s picture. • In the Closed Caption system, the TEXT1 or TEXT2 services display text that is unrelated to the program being viewed (e.g., weather or news). These services are also superimposed over the program currently being viewed.
