Ditto Tam's observation on inputs. But, on our
HDTV it wasn't covered in the manual and I
stumbled across the capability by accident.
The 1:1 isn't available on the inputs that have
HDMI/component options. It's a default on the
"PC" input (#3) using either the RGB/VGA socket
or S-Video connection on that input. (changing
PC resolution changes the image size) The
"external" composite input (#4) also appears to
have 1:1 scaling. On the later input, image size
is manipulated with the aspect ratio contol.
