If this is detected your TV's picture format will be in accordance with the setting in the DEFAULT 4:3 option. . . . notes on Default 4:3 If your TV is receiving a 4:3 Wide Screen Signal, the viewing format displayed can be set using the 4:3 default. . . . notes Auto WS Detect Auto Wide Screen Detect, when switched ON (and there is no WSS signal) enables your TV to look for the black bands at the top and bottom of the picture received and displays your picture in the format it is received in.
