Panasonic Auto
determines the best aspect ratio to
use to display the picture you are viewing. 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 appropriate
16:9
or
14:9
widescreen
mode. If
Panasonic Auto
does not detect a
widescreen signal then the picture is displayed in
Just
or
4:3
mode.
The text shown on the screen indicates how
Panasonic Auto
determined which ratio to use:
’WIDE’ appears in the top left of the screen if a
widescreeen identification signal (WSS) is found or a
signal found through a Scart socket.
Panasonic Auto
switches to the appropriate
16:9
or
14:9
widescreen
ratio
’Panasonic Auto’ appears in the top left of the screen if
black stripes above and below the picture are
detected.
Panasonic Auto
chooses the best ratio and
expands the picture to fill the screen. This process can
take several minutes, depending how dark the picture
is.
’Panasonic Auto’ appears in the top left of the screen
and red and green keys at the bottom if no indication of
a widescreen signal is found, the picture is displayed
in
Just
or
4:3
mode. If the picture has a standard 4:3
aspect ratio then you may prefer to view it at its original
size, the red and green keys that appear allow you to
choose between viewing at standard
4:3
size or
expanded in
Just
mode.
Equally, you may prefer to select one of the other
modes available to view the picture.
Notes:
D
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 films 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.
