ASPECT CONTROLS

The widescreen TV will allow you to enjoy viewing the picture at its optimum size and aspect,

Press the ASPECT button repeatedly to move through the seven aspect options: Panasonic Auto, 16:9, Just,

including widescreen ‘cinema format’ pictures.

4:3, Zoom1,Zoom2 and Zoom3.
OR
Press the ASPECT button then use the RED or GREEN buttons to move in either direction through the seven
aspect options.

ASPECT

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 16:9 widescreen
mode. If Panasonic Auto does not detecta
widescreen signal then this advanced TV
set enhances the picture for optimum view­ing pleasure.

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 is found through a Scart
socket. Panasonic Auto switches into 16:9 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.
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.
