Explanation
NORMAL will display a 4:3 picture at its standard 4:3
size.
ZOOM mode magnifies the central section of the picture.
FULL will display the picture at its maximum size but
with sight elongation.
JUST mode will display a 4:3 picture at its maximum
size but with aspect correction applied to the center of
the screen so that elongation is only apparent at the
left and r
ight edges of the screen.
The siz
e of the picture
will depend on the original signal.
Notes:
(1) Do not allow 4:3 mode to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent after-image to remain on
the Plasma Display Panel.
(2)
The S-VIDEO ter
minal on this set can detect specially encoded signals that are compatib
le with a wide screen monitor
.
When a full image from the S-VIDEO terminal of specially encoded video is detected by the set, the screen size is
automatically set to FULL mode.
