AUTO

NOTE

In case a screen switches with AUTO operation, the screen may become black for a moment according to the conditions of a weak-electric-field and an input signal, but it is not a failure.

NOTE

(FULL)

In this mode the picture is geometrically distorted on the left and the right sides of the screen.

PANORAMIC

This mode is used with 16:9 signals from a Digital decoder, a DVD player or other external source. This uniformly stretches a 4:3 image horizontally to fill the screen (For example, a 16:9 image is often stored “anamorphically” on a DVD, where the 16:9 image is stored as a horizontally compressed 4:3 image - this mode restores the image to its correct 16:9 proportions).

ZOOM

(PANORAMIC)

 

This mode is used to zoom-in on (expand) 4:3 “letterbox” format pictures (with grey bars at the top

 

and bottom) so that they fill more of the screen.

NOTE

(ZOOM)

In the ZOOM mode, part of the picture may be slightly cut off due to the expansion. However, it is possible to scroll the picture up or down to view the top or bottom part of the picture 26 .

14:9

This enlarges a 4:3 picture to the 14:9 format.

NOTE

(14:9)

When the Picture format is set to AUTO, the aspect ratio will automatically change according to the Wide Screen Switching (WSS) signal, if it is available. This may be either transmitted by the broadcasting TV channel, or via a recording from a VCR etc. Any WSS signal received will only be effective in the AUTO mode - however, some DVD players / Digital Decoders etc. will automatically switch the aspect ratio via the SCART input (Pin 8 switching), even if AUTO is not selected. In any case if you want to change to a

different aspect ratio to the one selected automatically, you can change it by pressing .

In PC mode, the Picture format is available only for 16:9 or 4:3 format. (In “WXGA INPUT” and “WVGA INPUT” mode, the Picture format is not available.)

In HDMI or COMPONENT mode of scanning rate: 720p and 1080i, the Picture format is available only for FULL1, FULL2 and ZOOM format.
