Panasonic Auto determines the best aspect ratio to use to fill your screen.
It does this using a four step process to determine if the picture being
viewed is a widescreen picture.
If Panasonic Auto detects a widescreen signal it switches into the
appropriate widescreen mode. If Panasonic Auto does not detect a
widescreen signal then this advanced TV set enhances the picture for
optimum viewing pleasure.
The text shown on the screen indicates how Panasonic Auto determined
which ratio to use:
“WIDE” appears in the top left of the screen if a widescreen identification
signal (WSS) is found or a signal found through a Scart terminal.
Panasonic Auto switches to the appropriate widescreen ratio.
“Panasonic Auto” appears in the top left of the screen if black stripes
above and below the picture are detected.
Panasonic Auto chooses the best ratio and expands the picture to fill
the screen. This process can take several minutes, depending on the
darkness of the picture.
You may prefer to manually select one of the other aspect options available
to view the picture.
Notes:
•If, in Panasonic Auto mode, you experience problems with the screen
display size when playing back widescreen format recordings from your
VCR then it is possible that the tracking control of your VCR requires
adjustment (your VCR instruction book will contain adjustment details).
•The widescreen aspect ratios of different films and programmes can
vary.
If these are wider than a standard 16:9 aspect picture then a black
band may be visible at the top and bottom of the screen.
The Widescreen TV will allow you to enjoy viewing the picture at its optimum size and aspect, including widescreen
cinema format pictures.
