Panasonic Auto
Panasonic Auto determines the best aspect ratio to
use to fill your screen. 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 or 14:9 widescreen
mode. If Panasonic Auto 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
Panasonic Auto determined which ratio to use:
'WIDE' appears in the top left of the screen if a
widescreeen identification signal (WSS) is found or a
signal found through a Scart socket. Panasonic Auto
switches to the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 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 on the darkness of
the picture.
You may prefer to manually select one of the other
aspect options available to view the picture.
Notes:

problems with the screen display size when
