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.
