Auto mode
■
Auto mode determines the best aspect ratio to fill the screen. It does this using a four step process (WSS,
Control signal through SCART / HDMI terminal, Letterbox detection, or Justify to fill the screen).
This process may take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the image.
Letterbox detection: If black bands at the top and bottom of the screen are detected, Auto mode chooses the
best ratio and expands the image to fill the screen.
If no aspect signals are detected, Auto mode enhances the image for optimum viewing pleasure.
Note
The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is out of the standard 16:9, black bands at the top
●
and bottom of the screen may appear.
If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR, adjust the
●
tracking of the VCR. Read the manual of the VCR.
SD Card
If the SD Card does not meet SD standards, it may cause the TV to malfunction.
●
Do not remove the card while the TV is accessing data (this can damage card or TV).
●
Do not touch the pins on the back of the card.
●
Do not subject the card to a high pressure or impact.
●
Insert the card in the correct direction (otherwise the card or TV may be damaged).
●
Electrical interference, static electricity, or erroneous operation may damage the data or
●
card.
Back up the recorded data at regular intervals in case of deteriorated or damaged data
●
or erratic operation of the TV. (Panasonic is not liable for any deterioration or damage of
recorded data.)
