Built into your TV is software that detects these signals and automatically switches your TV to the correct format. However, some broadcasters do not transmit this automatic sensing signal, and so your TV will not recognise which format is being transmitted. This situation can be overcome by simply pressing the key on your handset. auto format Auto mode automatically detects various screen formats that are transmitted in either conventional (4:3) or wide screen (16:9 or 14:9) format. After detecting which signal is being transmitted the TV will automatically switch to the correct screen ratio. In example 1 (right) a 4:3 conventional picture format is shown - note the black bars to the sides of the screen - this is consistent with screen compression. Note: Hitachi recommend AUTO is selected for the majority of TV viewing. 16:9 format The picture (right) illustrates a true 16:9 wide screen picture format. This type of picture fills the entire TV screen. The 16:9 mode can also be manually selected if desired by pressing the button on your handset. 14:9 format The 14:9 format (right) is the medium between the 4:3 and 16:9 ratio signals. When this mode is selected thin black bars appear to the sides of the screen. features - wide screen 21 features - wide screen panoramic format The panoramic mode emulates that of a wide screen broadcast for 4:3 transmissions. This is achieved by maintaining the proportions of the centre of the screen while shrinking the images on the top and bottom of the screen. Note: This mode is generally recommended if AUTO is not selected C16:9L format The 16:9 ratio is the format that is usually transmitted by the broadcasting stations. The C16:9L format is used to expand a 16:9 `letter box' broadcast so that it uses the full screen to display the picture so that the image does not appear `crushed'. before after C14:9L format The 14:9 ratio is the format that is sometimes transmitted by the broadcasting stations. The C14:9L format is used to expand a 14:9 broadcast so that it produces an image of true proportions, but because of the original ratio the screen will have thin black bars to the right and to the left of the picture. before after C14:9LS format Some broadcasters transmit in a 14:9 format, which appears with black bands down each side of your picture. C14:9LS enlarges the picture (which can cut off the top) so these black bars are no longer visible. before after 4:3 format The conventional picture format for most broadcasts is the 4:3 ratio signal which gives black bars to the sides of the screen and this is consistent with screen compression (see right). 22 1 2 3 Press and hold the MENU button for 5 seconds.
