wide screen viewing 

Various broadcast stations now transmit movies and programs in true wide screen format. Your

TV can detect these signals and automatically switch to the correct format (when in AUTO mode) .

However, some broadcasters do not transmit this automatic sensing signal, and so your TV will not

recognise which format is being transmitted. This situation can be overcome by simply 

pressing the          key on your handset.

The picture (right) illustrates a true 16:9 wide screen picture

format. This type of picture fills the entire TV screen. The 16:9

mode can also be manually selected if desired by pressing the

button         on your handset. 

Please Note: Your TV will automatically switch to 16:9 mode

when it receives a true 16:9 Wide Screen Signal through the

external RF aerial or external AV sockets. You can override this

change by pressing the 16:9 button on your handset to switch to

the desired aspect ratio.

The 14:9 format (right) is the medium between the 4:3

and 16:9 ratio signals. When this mode is selected thin

black bars appear to the sides of the screen.

The Auto format is also one which can be selected manually. 

Auto mode automatically detects various screen formats that

are transmitted in either conventional (4:3) or wide screen (16:9

or 14:9) format. After detecting which signal is being transmitted

the TV will automatically switch to the correct screen ratio. 

The conventional picture format for most broadcasts is the 4:3

ratio signal which gives black bars to the sides of the screen and

this is consistent with screen compression (see right).

Laserdisc and videotape players will normally provide either a full 4:3 or letterbox widescreen

format picture with black bands at the top and bottom. For viewing such widescreen picture formats,

Hitachi recommend the C16:9L mode. DVD players will normally give an option of either 4:3 or 16:9

output mode (dependant on player and software - please refer to player instructions) For a full 16:9

picture, Hitachi recommend using the 16:9 mode. 

Please Note: Your TV will automatically switch to 16:9 mode when it receives a true 16:9 Wide Screen

Signal through the external RF aerial or external AV sockets. You can override this change by pressing

the 16:9 button on your handset to switch to the desired aspect ratio.
