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.

ASPECT CONTROLS

The on screen selector keys that appear for some aspect functions will clear after a few seconds. If you subsequently wish to select an operation then press the Aspect key once more for the keys 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).
