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.
