Tips

If you select the Wide Screen Mode manually (page 27), the Wide Screen Mode may not change as noted above.

If you press the WIDE MODE button (page 27) with Auto Wide set to on, Auto Wide functions noted above. If you press the WIDE MODE button repeatedly, Wide Screen Mode changes as follows (according to the control signal).

If the TV receives a picture with control signal, Wide Screen Mode changes according to the control signal.

If the TV receives a picture without control signal, Auto Wide does not function even if “Auto Wide” is set to “Mode2.” Note that it functions again when you select other channels or inputs, or turn the TV off and on again.

This TV features superior presentation of movie films by identifying movie signals and processing them accordingly.

When Wide Screen Mode changes automatically with Auto Wide set to on

The TV receives the picture with a control signal and selects the best Wide Screen Mode automatically to fit the wide screen (See page 26).

While “Auto Wide” is set to “Mode2,” the picture size may change during commercial breaks. This is because the TV selects the best Wide Screen Mode automatically for each program (See page 26).

Notes on Wide Screen Mode

The Wide Screen Mode function of this TV allows for various display options: select the appropriate Wide Screen Mode for the original aspect ratio of the picture you are watching.

If you change the screen size using the WIDE MODE feature with the TV installed in a public space for commercial use or public purpose, it might be an infringement of copyright.

If you select “Widezoom” when watching the picture with 4:3 aspect ratio, par of the picture is transformed. You can watch the picture with its original aspect ratio in “Normal” mode.

The upper and lower parts may not appear or subtitles may not go in the screen according to the size of the original picture. In this case, adjust the size or position (See page 35).
