Explanation
4:3 will display a 4:3 picture at its standard 4:3 size.
Zoom mode magnifies the central section of the
picture.
16:9 will display the picture at its maximum size but
with slight 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 right edges of the screen. The size of
the picture will depend on the original signal.
Picture
The display will automatically become enlarged
(depending on the picture source), allowing you to
view the picture at its maximum size.
Note:
Auto mode is designed to automatically adjust the
aspect ratio to handle a mix of 16:9 and 4:3 program
material. Certain 4:3 program material, such as
stock market data screens, may occasionally cause
the image size to change unexpectedly. When
viewing such programs, it is recommended that the
ASPECT be set to 4:3.
Changes in accordance
with the Auto mode
setting (see page 31).

Notes: (1) Do not allow the picture to be displayed in 4:3 mode for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent
after-image to remain on the Plasma Display Panel.
(2) Using this function to display a picture with the aspect ratio changed from the original for the purpose of
public display or commercial gain may infringe on copyright laws.
