ASPECT CONTROLS
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 options:
Panasonic Auto, 4:3, Zoom,
S --- Z o o m , 1 6 : 9 ( F u l l ) a n d J u s t
Panasonic Auto
Some broadcasts are transmitted
together with a wide screen
identification signal (WSS). If the TV
receives this signal then it will
automatically switch to wide screen
16:9 mode, maximum display.
The automatic widescreen switching
depends upon reception conditions
and the strength of the signal. If the
signal is poor and therefore the WSS is
weak then it is possible that the picture
may not expand to full size and that the
TV will display black areas around the
edges.
If the original source signal was a
standard 4:3 aspect ratio then you
might prefer to view it in its original size;
the red and green keys that appear will
allow you to choose between viewing at
standard 4:3 size or expanded in Just
mode.

wish to select an operation then press

to reappear.
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.
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).
