Auto mode 

Auto mode determines the best aspect ratio to fill the screen. It does this using a four step process (WSS,
Control signal through SCART / HDMI terminal, Letterbox detection, or Justify to fill the screen) to determine.

This process may take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the image.

Letterbox detection: If black bands at the top and bottom of the screen are detected, Auto mode chooses the
best ratio and expands the image to fill the screen.
If no aspect signals are detected, Auto mode enhances the image for optimum viewing pleasure.

Note

The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is out of the standard 16:9, black bands at the top 
and bottom of the screen may appear.
If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR, adjust the 
tracking of the VCR. Read the manual of the VCR.

Technical Information

HDMI connection

HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) is the world’s first complete digital consumer AV interface complying
with a non-compression standard.
HDMI allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and high-quality sound by connecting the TV and the
equipment.
HDMI-compatible equipment (1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a set top box or a DVD player, can
be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.
About connections, see “External Equipment” (p. 58).

Applicable HDMI features 

Input audio signal : 2ch Linear PCM (sampling frequencies - 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz) 
Input video signal : 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p 

“Input signal that can be displayed” (p. 60)

Match the output setting of the digital equipment.

Input PC signal :

 “Input signal that can be displayed” (p. 60)

Match the output setting of the PC.

VIERA Link (HDAVI Control 4) :  “VIERA Link” (p. 53)

DVI connection 

If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI1 / 3 terminal via a DVI to HDMI adapter
cable (2).
When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal (HDMI1: use
COMPONENT-AUDIO terminals / HDMI3: use AV3 audio terminals).

Note

Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI1 / 3 Input” in the Sound Menu. (p. 31) 
HDMI2 terminal is for digital audio signal only. 
If the connected equipment has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to “16:9”. 
These HDMI connectors are “type A”. 
These HDMI connectors are compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) copyright 
protection.
An equipment having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either “COMPONENT”, 
“S-VIDEO”, or “VIDEO” to receive analogue signals.

(1): The HDMI logo is displayed on HDMI-compliant equipment.
(2): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.

PC connection

A PC may be connected to this TV so that the PC screen is displayed and sound is heard from the TV.

PC signals that can be inputted: Horizontal scanning frequency 31 to 69 kHz; vertical scanning frequency 
59 to 86 Hz (more than 1,024 signal lines could result in incorrect display of the image).
A PC adapter is not necessary for the DOS/V-compliant D-sub 15-pin connector. 

Note

Some PC models cannot be connected to this TV. 
To listen to PC sound from the TV, connect the audio cable to COMPONENT-AUDIO terminals. (p. 59) 
When using PC, set the colour display quality of PC to the highest position. 

Updating the TV software

From time to time, a new version of software may become available for download to enhance the performance or
operations of the TV.

To download from a notification banner 

A notification banner will appear when you search for a new version software by using the “System Update
Search Now” function (p. 42).
In DVB mode, a notification banner will appear when one of the BBC
channels is tuned if a new available software is found.

To start downloading press the OK button, this may take up to 60 minutes to complete.
To ignore the new software press the EXIT button.
You can update later automatically when the TV is in Standby mode

“To download any new software automatically” (see below)
If you do not wish to update, set “Auto Update Search in Standby” to “Off”, but the notification banner will keep
appearing during the period of new software availability, usually 2 to 3 days.

To download any new software automatically 

Ensure that the “Auto Update Search in Standby” function in the System Update menu is set to “On” (p. 42).
The TV will then download new software automatically at night if it is left in standby without any timer
programming in progress.

Found new software version .

Press OK to start update (may take 40 mins)

or Press EXIT to ignore

and you can update when TV is in standby.

Note

During software download and update, DO NOT switch off the TV. 
