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 five aspect options:
Panasonic Auto, 4:3, Zoom, 16:9
(Full) and Just
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.

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).
