Panasonic Auto
Panasonic Auto determines the best aspect ratio to use to display the
picture you are viewing. It does this using a four step process to determine
if the picture being viewed is a widescreen picture.
If Panasonic Auto detects a widescreen signal it switches into the
appropriate 16:9 mode.The Panorama (Just) mode is selected if a signal
with wide aspect ratio is not present (the screen cannot be switched from
Panorama mode into 4:3 mode).
The text shown on the screen indicates how Panasonic Auto 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 is found through a Scart socket. Panasonic
Auto switches to the appropriate 16:9 widescreen ratio.
'Panasonic Auto' appears in the top left of the screen if black stripes above
and below the picture are detected. Panasonic Auto chooses the best
ratio and expands the picture to fill the screen. This process can take several
minutes, depending how dark the picture is.
When in Panasonic Auto mode, if a Letter box signal is input and there is no
Aspect information, the picture is automatically adjusted to Zoom.
When "Panasonic Auto" is indicated in the top left of the picture and the
subtitle is indicated in the lower part, the position of the picture can be
adjusted vertically using the Yellow (V-POS-: Downwards) or Blue (V-POS+:
Upwards) Buttons.
Notes:
• 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 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.
