Technical Information
Aspect Ratio
The optimum size and aspect can be chosen, and you can enjoy fi ner images. (p. 10)
Auto aspect: Auto aspect determines the best aspect ratio to use to fi ll your screen. It does this using a four step
Ŷ
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 identifi cation 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 fi ll the screen. This
process can take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the picture.

The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is greater than the standard "16:9", black bands

HDMI connection
HDMI (high-defi nition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-defi nition digital images and high-quality sound
by connecting the TV unit and the equipment.
HDMI-compatible equipment (1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a set top box or a DVD player, can
be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.
HDMI is the world's fi rst complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard.
•
If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI 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 "HDMI input" menu screen. (p. 11)
Signals other than above may not be displayed properly.
•
The above signals are reformatted for optimal viewing on your display.
