Panorama = The original 4:3 image is stretched only on the left and right sides to fill the screen,
leaving the center image unchanged.
There are also 3 zoom modes available for use when viewing wide-screen content:
ZOOM 1 = Shifts the image up to facilitate the viewing of subtitles.
ZOOM 2 = Made to stretch 2.35:1 content to full screen eliminating the black bars.
ZOOM 3 = Further zooms in on 2.35:1 content.
The above modes are available when viewing programming through the TV input, AV or S-video
inputs, or component input of 480i. When viewing HD content (480p, 720p or 1080i) through the
component, only the 4:3 and 16:9 modes are available.
Q: I hear a buzzing sound coming from the back of my plasma, is that
normal?
A:
All electronic devices emit an electronic noise. Depending on the amount of electrical current
running through the device there can be an increase in the amount of noise emitted.
There are 2 PC boards on the right and left in the back of the Plasma TV. These 2 boards connect
to the plasma display panel and are responsible for providing the electricity to light the individual
cells on the plasma. Each of these boards is connected directly to the main power supply of the
unit. When there is a bright scene, these boards have a great deal of electricity flowing through
them. Under this circumstance, you may detect a small amount of electronic noise. This is
because the power supply is working harder delivering the amount of power necessary to these
boards. The electronic noise you are hearing is actually coming from the power supply. When the
scene displayed is dark, there will not as much.
If the screen is next to the wall, some of that noise will be reflected out into the listening area. It
the environment the plasma is in an “echo-rich” environment, this may also cause the electronic
sound to be more apparent.
Each of these screens has been tested and is within the sound levels listed by the manufacturer
(under 40db). This value is the same for nearly all plasma manufacturers.
This type of electronic sound is completely normal and is not serviceable.
