VIEWING WIDE SCREEN (VIDEO MODE)

This operation can also be done using the buttons on the Display’s operation panel.

When AUTO mode is selected

With certain software, the Plasmavision may not operate correctly in AUTO mode. If so, use the WIDE button to switch to the most appropriate screen size.

Examples:

Some game software will invoke the zoom screen (where the top and bottom of the screen are miss- ing).

For some 4:3 video software, in scenes where the top and bottom are extremely dark, the display may switch to the zoom screen.

For video software that switches to the zoom screen automatically, the display may take a few mo- ments to switch to the zoom screen for the first dark scene.
