Aspect Ratio
The optimum size and aspect can be chosen, and you can enjoy finer images. (p. 11)
Auto aspect: Auto aspect 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 Auto aspect detects a widescreen signal it switches into the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen mode. If Auto
aspect 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 Auto aspect determined which ratio to use: "WIDE" appears in the top left of the screen if a widescreen identification signal (WSS) is found or a signal found
through a SCART terminal. Auto aspect switches to the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen ratio. This function
will also work in any aspect mode. "Auto aspect" appears in the top left of the screen if black stripes above and
below the picture are detected. Auto aspect 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.

HDMI connection
HDMI is the world's first complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard. If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI1 terminal via a DVI to HDMI adapter cable (∗2). When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal. Audio settings can be made on the "HDMI1 input" menu screen. (p. 16) Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (2ch L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz
(∗1): The HDMI logo is displayed on an HDMI-compliant equipment. (∗2): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.
Note
HDMI2 terminal is for digital signal only. Use with a PC is not assumed. The 720p/1080i signals will be reformatted before being displayed on the screen. If the connected equipment has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to "16:9". These HDMI connectors are "type A". An equipment having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either "Component", "S­VIDEO", or "Video" to receive analogue signals. The HDMI input terminal can be used with only the following image signals: 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p and 1080i. Match the output setting of the digital equipment. For details of the applicable HDMI signals, see p. 35.
PC connection
PC signals that can be inputted: Horizontal scanning frequency 31 to 69 kHz; vertical scanning frequency 59 to 86 Hz (more than 1,024 signal lines could result in incorrect display of the image). A PC adapter is not necessary for the DOS/V-compliant D-sub 15-pin connector.
Note
Some PC models cannot be connected to this TV unit. For details of the applicable PC signals, see p. 35. Max. display resolution
