Technical Information

The optimum size and aspect can be chosen, and you can enjoy fi ner images. (p. 11)
Auto aspect: 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.
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 set 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 aspect" 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.

The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is greater than the standard "16:9",
Note
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)

Updating the DVB software
From time to time, a new version of software for DVB mode may become available for download to enhance
performance or operations of the TV.
A notifi cation banner will appear when you tune to one of the BBC channels, or you can search for a new version
software by using the "System Update Search Now" function (p. 25).
To start downloading press "OK", this may take up to 20 minutes to
complete.
To ignore the new software press "EXIT", but this banner will keep
appearing during the period of new software availability, usually 2 to 3 days.
To download any new software automatically, ensure that the "Auto Update Search in Standby" function in the
System Update menu is set to "On" (p. 25).
The TV will then download new software automatically at night if it is left in standby without any timer programme
in progress.
During software download and update, DO NOT switch off the TV.
