Auto aspect 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 Auto aspect detects a widescreen signal it switches into the ap propriate
widescreen mode. If Auto aspect 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 Auto aspect de termined which
ratio to use:
Auto aspect switches to the appropriate widescreen ratio.
“Auto aspect” appears in the top left of the screen if black stripes above and
below the picture are detected.
Auto aspect 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 Auto aspect 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 identifi 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 defi 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.
