Selecting of picture size
■Screen options
Today there are various transmission formats with different size ratios, eg. 4:3 , 14:9, 16:9 and video formats such as letterbox.
■Auto
It automatically switches to the optimum screen mode according to the WSS signal provided in the receiving signal source. If the signal does not have it, the TV keeps current screen mode.
✐This setting may cause the picture to change when a different format is received eg. when an advert is received.
✐WSS (Wide screen signalling)
Some broadcasters transmit this signal and some VCR tapes have it included . The signal identifies the picture format ratio (16:9, 14:9, 4:3 etc.).
If WSS is not being received and you are not happy with your picture this TV provides you the option to change it with the following options.
Press the WIDE button repeatedly to select your desired setting.
