Technical Information
Aspect Ratio
Note
• 
The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is greater than the standard “16:9”, black bands 
may appear at the top and bottom of the screen.
• 
If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR, adjust the 
tracking of the VCR. (See the VCR manual.)
• 
Aspect mode can be memorized for SD (Standard defi nition) and HD (High defi nition) signals separately.
• 
To select the ratio manually: (Only “16:9” or “4:3” in PC mode)
The optimum size and aspect can be chosen, and you can enjoy fi ner images. (p. 13)
■
 
Auto: Auto aspect determines the best aspect ratio to use to fi ll your screen. It does this using a four step process 
to determine if the picture being viewed is a widescreen picture.

At “16:9”, displays 
the image at its 
maximum (with 
slight enlargement).
Auto
The best ratio is 
chosen and the 
picture expanded 
to fi ll the screen.
  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 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 widescreen identifi cation signal (WSS) is found or a signal found 
through a SCART terminal. Auto aspect switches to the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen ratio. This function 
will also work in any aspect mode. “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 fi ll the screen. This 
process can take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the picture.
• 
This function may not work normally depending on the equipment condition.
• 
Image or sound may not be available for the fi rst few seconds when the playback starts.
• 
Image or sound may not be available for the fi rst few seconds when Input mode is switched.
• 
Volume function will be displayed when adjusting the volume of the equipment.
• 
Easy playback is also available by using the remote control for Amplifi er or Player theatre. Read the manuals of 
the equipment.
• 
If you connect the same kind of equipment at once (for example: one DIGA to HDMI1 / another DIGA to HDMI2), 
VIERA Link is available for the terminal with the smaller number.
• 
“HDAVI Control 2” is the newest standard (current as of February, 2007) for Panasonic’s HDAVI Control 
compatible equipment. This standard is compatible with Panasonic’s conventional HDAVI equipment.
HDMI connections to some Panasonic equipment allow you to interface them automatically. (p. 30)
