Notes:
• If you watch a 4:3 aspect ratio picture in NORMAL mode for long periods of time, the black bands on both sides of the picture may be permanently imprinted onto the screen. We recommend that you watch 4:3 pictures in WIDE ZOOM mode.
• The AUTO WIDE feature lets you select the most suitable mode automatically for a picture containing an aspect ratio signal. (see “AUTO WIDE” on page 53)
• For ZOOM and WIDE ZOOM modes you can adjust the vertical position of the picture. (see “V CENTER” on page 53)
