Basically, if you set “WSS” to “On” in the “Option” menu, the optimum “Wide mode” is automatically chosen for every broadcast or programme played using a VCR or DVD player/recorder.
NOTE
•Even if you select your desired “Wide mode” manually, the TV may automatically switch to the optimum “Wide mode” depending on the signal received when “WSS” is set to “On”.

WSS
The “WSS” allows the TV to switch automatically among the different picture size.
Go to “HOME” > “TV Menu” > “Setup” > “Option” > “WSS”.
NOTE
•Use “Wide mode” if an image does not switch to the appropriate picture size. When the broadcast signal contains no “WSS” information, the function will not work even if enabled.
•This function is available for 3D images converted from 2D images or normal 2D images.
