WIDE may stretch the image to fill the entire screen, NORMAL displays the image at its true aspect ratio (4:), FULL WIDE stretches the image horizontally to fit the screen for aspect ratio of 6:9. Note : · When using a DVD player as the source, make sure that the unit's output mode is set to "FULL WIDE" or "6:9". This ensures that the DVD player will generate a video signal, which can take advantage of the monitor's aspect ratio. · When using a source that generates a "normal", 4: image signal, such as a video game or video cassette player, the FULL WIDE mode stretches the image to fit the screen. Some minor image distortion may be visible. · Video format are automatically select between PAL or NTSC depending on the video format.

When drilling through metal or plastic, use grommets to protect the cables from sharp edges that could penetrate the insulation and cause a short circuit and device failure. Use sand paper to remove any paint from the surface where you attach the ground terminal. 4. [. . . ]
