signal. The unit simply records/adds the wide-screen
aspect ratio information.
• If you use a video signal containing the information
described above and a monitor compatible with that
wide-screen signal, the video signal is displayed in
the wide-screen mode automatically. To see whether
or not the monitor is compatible with the wide-screen
aspect ratio information contained in the video signal,
refer to the instruction manual of the monitor.
