 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 

 detects a widescreen signal it switches into the appropriate

widescreen mode. If 

 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 

 determined which

ratio to use:

“WIDE” appears in the top left of the screen if a widescreen identification signal
(WSS) is found or a signal found through a Scart terminal.

 switches to the appropriate widescreen ratio.

“Panasonic Auto” appears in the top left of the screen if black stripes above
and below the picture are detected.

 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.

• If, in Panasonic Auto 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).

• The widescreen aspect ratios of different films and programmes can vary.

If these are wider than a standard 16:9 aspect picture then a black band may
be visible at the top and bottom of the screen.

The Widescreen TV will allow you to enjoy viewing the picture at its optimum size and aspect, including widescreen
cinema format pictures.
