Hitachi c32w35tn User Manual

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. In example 1 (right) a 4:3 conventional picture

format is shown - note the black bars to the sides of the

screen - this is consistent with screen compression. 

Note: Hitachi recommend AUTO is selected for the majority of

TV viewing.

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

Built into your TV is software that detects these signals and automatically switches your TV to the

correct format. 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.

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.
