ASPECT CONTROLS
A
The widescreen TV will allow you to enjoy viewing the picture at its maximum size, including
widescreen ‘cinema format’ pictures.
Note: Just mode is not available when viewing an RGB source.
Press the ASPECT button to move through the six aspect op t i ons : Panasonic Auto, 4:3, Zoom, 16:9 (Full), 14:9 and Just
Panasonic Auto
Panasonic Auto determines the best aspect ratio to
use to display the picture you are viewing. 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 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen mode. If Panasonic Auto does not detect a widescreen signal then the picture is displayed in Just or 4:3 mode.
The text shown on the screen indicates how Panasonic Auto determined which ratio to use:
’WIDE’ appears in the top left of the screen if a widescreeen identification signal (WSS) is found or a signal found through a Scart socket. Panasonic Auto switches to the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen ratio ’Panasonic Auto’ appears in the top left of the screen if black stripes above and below the picture are detected. Panasonic Auto chooses the best ratio and expands the picture to fill the screen. This process can take several minutes, depending how dark the picture is. ’Panasonic Auto’ appears in the top left of the screen and red and green keys at the bottom if no indication of a widescreen signal is found, the picture is displayed in Just or 4:3 mode. If the picture has a standard 4:3 aspect ratio then you may prefer to view itat its original size, the red and green keys that appear allow you to choose between viewing at standard 4:3 size or expanded in Just mode. Equally, you may prefer to select one of the other modes available to view the picture.

Notes:
D 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).
D 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.
