The display will automatically become enlarged (depending on the 
picture source), allowing you to view the picture at its maximum size.
Notes:
• Panasonic AUTO mode is designed to automatically adjust the aspect 

ratio to handle a mix of 16:9 and 4:3 program material. Certain 4:3 
program material, such as stock market data screens, may occasionally 
cause the image size to change unexpectedly. When viewing such 
programs, it is recommended that the ASPECT be set to NORMAL.

• If adjusting the PICTURE V-POS/V-SIZE in Panasonic AUTO with FULL 

mode, the adjustment is not memorized. When exiting the mode, the 
screen will return to a former adjustment.

• Panasonic AUTO can not be selected while TY-FB9BD (optional BNC 

Dual Video Terminal Board) is installed.
