Precautions for using the screen mode switching function
•This Monitor features a screen mode switching (aspect ratio change) function. If you select a mode different in aspect ratio from software such as TV programs, the picture may look different from original picture. Be aware of this point when you are selecting a screen mode.
•If you select a wide screen mode while viewing conventional video programs of the aspect ratio 4:3, some portions (edges) of the original picture will be cut off, or deformed. To enjoy the original picture as it is, select “REGULAR” while viewing such programs.
•If you place the Monitor in a tea room, hotel, etc. for business purposes or public viewing and modify the picture by using the screen mode switching (aspect ratio change) function, this could violate the copyright protected by the copyright law, which requires your special attention.
•If you make the screen very bright and watch programs selecting “REGULAR” for a long period of time, the Monitor screen may happen to be burned in. If this occurs, watching programs using a wide screen mode for a while will reduce the
PANORAMIC: REGULAR size display is enlarged horizontally to the extent that the picture does not look abnormally.
Notes:
•When one of the following signals is being input, the aspect ratio is fixed and cannot be changed.
Aspect ratio is fixed to FULL: When 1080i or 720p signal comes in (through the COMPONENT input terminals)
When 480p signal (through the COMPONENT input terminals) and any signal comes in (through the RGB input terminals), you can select only REGULAR and FULL.
•The aspect ratio can also be changed on the Function Selection Menu (page 18).
