Auto Aspect
Auto Aspect
determines the best aspect ratio
to use to fill your screen. It does this using a four
step process to determine if the picture being
viewed is a widescreen picture.
If
Auto Aspect detects a widescreen signal it
switches into the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9
widescreen mode. If
Auto Aspect does not
detect a widescreen signal then this advanced
TV set enhances the picture for optimum
viewing pleasure.
The text shown on the screen indicates how
Auto Aspect 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 found through a Scart socket.
Auto Aspect switches to the appropriate 16:9
or 14:9 widescreen ratio
’Panasonic Auto’ appears in the top left of the
screen if black stripes above and below the
picture are detected.
Auto Aspect chooses
the best ratio and expands the picture to fill the
screen. This process can take several minutes,
depending on the darkness of the picture.
You may prefer to manually select one of the
other aspect options available to view the
picture.
Notes:
D If, in Auto Aspect 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).
