Technical Information

The optimum size and aspect can be chosen automatically, and you can enjoy finer images. (p. 16)
Aspect Control Signal
"WIDE" will appear in the top left of the screen if a Widescreen signal (WSS) or a Control signal through SCART /
HDMI terminal is found.
The aspect will switch to the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen ratio.
This function will work in any aspect mode.

Auto mode
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).
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.
Note
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.
You can enter characters by using numeric buttons for free input items.
Press the numeric button repeatedly until you reach the desired character.
The character is set automatically if you do not press the button for
