Note

• 

The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is greater than the standard "16:9", black bands 
may appear at the top and bottom of the screen.

• 

If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR, adjust the 
tracking of the VCR. (See the VCR manual.)

• 

Aspect mode can be memorized for SD (Standard de

fi

 nition) and HD (High de

fi

 nition) signals separately.

• 

To select the ratio manually:

The optimum size and aspect can be chosen, and you can enjoy 

fi

 ner images. (p. 11)

 

Auto aspect: Auto aspect determines the best aspect ratio 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 appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 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 determined which ratio to use:
  "WIDE" appears in the top left of the screen if a widescreen identi

fi

 cation signal (WSS) is found or a signal found 

through a SCART terminal. Auto aspect switches to the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen ratio. This function 
will also work in any aspect mode. "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.
