Auto mode determines the best aspect ratio to fill the screen. It does this using a four step process (WSS, Control signal 
through SCART / HDMI terminal, Letterbox detection, or Justify to fill the screen) to determine.
This process may take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the image.
Letterbox detection : 
If black bands at the top and bottom of the screen are detected, Auto mode chooses the best ratio and expands the image to 
fill the screen.
If no aspect signals are detected, Auto mode enhances the image for optimum viewing pleasure.

t

The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is out of the standard 16:9, black bands at the top and bottom 
of the screen may appear.

If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR, adjust the tracking of the 
VCR. Read the manual of the VCR.
