For a 4:3 image

Notes:

Panasonic Auto mode is designed to automatically adjust the aspect ratio to handle a mix of 16:9 and 4:3 program material. Certain 4:3 program material, such as stock market data screens, may occasionally cause the image size to change unexpectedly. When viewing such programs, it is recommended that the ASPECT be set to 4:3.

If adjusting the Picture V-Pos/V-Size in Panasonic Auto with 16:9 mode, the adjustment is not memorized. When exiting the mode, the screen will return to a former adjustment.
