Aspect Controls

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.

ASPECT

 button repeatedly to move through the eight aspect 

options: 

Panasonic Auto, 16:9, 14:9, Just, 4:3, Zoom1, Zoom2

 and 

Zoom3
