Note

•The specifications given for the PC source are for the PDP- 508XDA. For the PDP-428XDA, the number of panel pixels is different, and thus signal processing and actual viewing conditions will vary slightly.

•While receiving High Definition video signals, pressing f switches among FULL, WIDE, 4:3, and ZOOM.

•Some HD broadcasts may display 4:3 content with side masks, which may cause uneven wear. After viewing it is recommended to view full-screen motion video (see Detecting side masks).

Selecting a screen size automatically

The plasma television automatically selects an appropriate screen size when the received video signals contain WSS (wide screen signaling) information, when the broadcasting signals (DTV only) contain information other than WSS, or when video signals are received from connected HDMI equipment (see page 55). To activate this function, use the following procedure.

1Press HOME MENU.

2Select “Option“ (/ then ENTER).

3Select “Auto Size“ (/ then ENTER).

4Select “Natural” or “Wide-Zoom” (/ then ENTER).

Note

•Manually select an appropriate screen size if an image does not automatically switch to a correct screen format.

•When the video signal contains no aspect ratio information, the function will not work even with “Natural” or “Wide-Zoom” selected.

Detecting side masks

Some HD broadcasts may display 4:3 content with side masks. The plasma television automatically detects these side masks to provide grey side masks when “Natural” has been selected for “Auto Size”, or display the image full screen with the side masks removed when “Wide-Zoom” has been selected. This function does not operate when “Off” is selected for “Auto Size”.

1Press HOME MENU.

2Select “Option“ (/ then ENTER).

3Select “Side Mask“ (/ then ENTER).

4Select “Detection” (/).
