TV ASPECT OK 1 4 7 C Red Green 2 5 8 0 3 6 9 Panasonic Auto Panasonic Auto determines the best aspect ratio to use to fill your screen. It does this using a four step process to determine if the picture being viewed is a widescreen picture. If Panasonic Auto detects a widescreen signal it switches into the appropriate widescreen mode. If Panasonic Auto does not detect a widescreen signal then this advanced TV set enhances the picture for optimum viewing pleasure. The text shown on the screen indicates how Panasonic Auto determined which ratio to use: Panasonic Auto switches to the appropriate widescreen ratio. If black stripes above and below the picture are detected, aspect ratio changes automatically. Panasonic Auto chooses the best ratio and expands the picture to fill the screen. This process can take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the picture. You may prefer to manually select one of the other aspect options available to view the picture. Notes: · If, in Panasonic Auto mode, you experience problems with the screen display size when playing back widescreen format recordings from your VCR then it is possible that the tracking control of your VCR requires adjustment (your VCR instruction book will contain adjustment details). · The widescreen aspect ratios of different films and programmes can vary. If these are wider than a standard 16:9 aspect picture then a black band may be visible at the top and bottom of the screen. · "WIDE" will appear in the top left corner of the screen and picture aspect changes accordingly in any aspect modes, if a widescreen identification signal (WSS) is detected or a control signal is found through a Scart terminal. · Automatic aspect ratio adjustment by WSS signal is not available for progressive and high definition component signals input. "Panasonic Auto" appears in the top left of the screen. The best ratio is chosen and the picture expanded to fill the screen. "WIDE" ap pears in the top left of the screen, Panasonic Auto switches to the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen ratio. WIDE Panasonic Auto Panasonic Auto Press the ASPECT button, then use the Red or Green buttons to move in either direction through the eight aspect options. 21 Aspect Controls 16 : 9 16:9 will display a true 16:9 (anamorphic) picture with no aspect distortions. 16 : 9 16 : 9 14 : 9 14:9 will display a 14:9 picture at its standard 14:9 size without any stretching. 14 : 9 14 : 9 Just Use Just when you wish to expand a 4:3 picture to fill the whole screen (rather than watching a programme with black stripes down the left and right sides of the picture). The 4:3 picture will be stretched horizontally so that the image fills the screen, this is done in such a way that the stretching is only obvious at the left and right edges of the screen. Just Just 4:3 4:3 will display a 4:3 picture at its standard 4:3 size with no aspect distortions. 4:3 4:3 Zoom1 Zoom1 will display 16:9 letterbox or 4:3 pictures with no aspect distortions.
