Picture Size
The required picture format can be set by pressing the PICTURE SIZE button. Press PICTURE SIZE until the
required format is displayed.
Tip: The picture goes dark for a short time every time the button is pressed before appearing in the required
format.
You move through the following formats when you press the button: AUTO, 4:3, FULL SCREEN, 16:9, CINEMA,
14:9.
AUTO
The picture is automatically only then shown in a format-filling display when a WSS-TV signal is received.
Example:
If the analogue tuner receives a letterbox image with WSS signal then
the resulting image looks like this:
WSS:
Public broadcasters include 16:9 identification, the WSS signal (WideScreenSignalling), during transmission
in order to ensure automatic conversion to 16:9.
Most private broadcasters do not transmit a WSS signal. Their 16:9 films are always broadcast in letterbox
format. AUTOmatic does not recognise anything without WSS signal and does not automatically alter the
picture size. Use the PICTURE SIZE button to set the required picture size for private channels.
If AUTO is set then the built-in tuner checks whether the WSS signal is present after every switch-over to
another programme.
If the WSS signal is rediscovered the screen goes intermittently black.
The picture can also go black during adverts when adverts are transmitted in both 4:3 and 16:9 .
Switch off AUTOmatic if you are bothered by the intermittent darkness of the picture. Switch off AUTOmatic
by pressing the PICTURE SIZE button until the required format appears, e.g. 16:9.
