Plasmavision may not operate cor-
rectly in AUTO mode. If so, use the
WIDE button to switch to the most
appropriate screen size.
Examples:
• Some game software will invoke
the zoom screen (where the top
and bottom of the screen are miss-
ing).
• For some 4:3 video software, in
scenes where the top and bottom
are extremely dark, the display
may switch to the zoom screen.
• For video software that switches
to the zoom screen automatically,
the display may take a few mo-
ments to switch to the zoom screen
for the first dark scene.
∗
AUTO mode cannot be selected in COMPONENT VIDEO mode.
In AUTO mode, the contents of the video software are detected and the display
switches to the optimum wide screen as follows:
• WIDE 1
The appropriate wide screen for ordi-
nary video (4:3) software.
• WIDE 2
Appropriate for 16:9 video compressed
to horizontally wide 4:3 video.
• ZOOM 1
Appropriate for horizontally wide video
software; a normal picture appears
with the top, bottom, left, and right
enlarged.
• ZOOM 2
For horizontally wide video software
with subtitles, the display is automati-
cally adjusted to compress the subtitle
section so that it is not cut out.
