∗Even when ZOOM 1 or ZOOM 2 is set for Vistavision size or Cinemavision size software that is predominantly used for movie software, dark areas may remain at the top and bottom.

Points about usage

•The Plasmavision can be switched to a variety of screen modes. When the selected mode has a different picture aspect ratio from the media to be viewed, the picture will appear different from the original. Keep this in mind when selecting the screen mode.

•Note that use of a wide select function to change the screen size or aspect ratio during commercial use or for public viewing in a coffee shop, hotel, or the like, may infringe on copyrights protected by the copyright law.

To respect the intent of the creators of the original video, use NORMAL mode.

•If the wide select function is used to display non-wide screen conventional (normal) 4:3 video software over the entire screen, the picture will be deformed with part of the edge not visible.

•VIDEO mode is the generic term for VIDEO mode, S-VIDEO mode, and COMPONENT VIDEO mode.
