Panasonic Auto
determines the best aspect ra tio to use to
fi
ll your screen. It does
this using a four step process to determine if the picture being viewed is a widescreen
picture.
If
Panasonic Auto
detects a widescreen signal it switches into the ap pro pri ate
widescreen mode. If
Panasonic Auto
does not detect a widescreen signal then this
advanced TV set enhances the picture for optimum viewing pleasure.
The text shown on the screen indicates how
Panasonic Auto
de ter mined which ratio
to use:
Panasonic Auto
switches to the appropriate widescreen ratio.
If black stripes above and below the picture are detected, aspect ratio changes
automatically.
Panasonic Auto
chooses the best ratio and expands the picture to
fi
ll the screen. This
process can take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the picture.
You may prefer to manually select one of the other aspect options available to view
the picture.
Notes:
• If, in Panasonic Auto mode, you experience problems with the screen display size
when playing back widescreen format recordings from your VCR then it is possible
that the tracking control of your VCR requires adjustment (your VCR instruction book
will contain adjustment details).
• The widescreen aspect ratios of different
fi
lms and programmes can vary.
If these are wider than a standard 16:9 aspect picture then a black band may be visible
at the top and bottom of the screen.
• “WIDE” will appear in the top left corner of the screen and picture aspect changes
accordingly in any aspect modes, if a widescreen identi
fi
cation signal (WSS) is detected
or a control signal is found through a Scart terminal.
• Automatic aspect ratio adjustment by WSS signal is not available for progressive and
high de
fi
nition component signals input.
The Widescreen TV will allow you to enjoy viewing the picture at its optimum size and aspect,
including widescreen cinema format pictures.
