Notes:
(1) Do not allow 4:3 mode to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent after-image to remain on
the Plasma Display Panel.
(2) The S-VIDEO terminal on this set can detect specially encoded signals that are compatible with a wide screen monitor.
When a full image from the S-VIDEO terminal of specially encoded video is detected by the set, the screen size is
automatically set to FULL mode.

ASPECT Controls
Explanation
NORMAL will display a 4:3 picture at its standard 4:3
size.
ZOOM mode magnifies the central section of the picture.
FULL will display the picture at its maximum size but
with sight elongation.
JUST mode will display a 4:3 picture at its maximum
size but with aspect correction applied to the center of
the screen so that elongation is only apparent at the
left and right edges of the screen. The size of the picture
will depend on the original signal.
The display will automatically become enlarged
(depending on the picture source), allowing you to view
the picture at its maximum size.
Note:
Panasonic AUTO mode is designed to automatically
adjust the aspect ratio to handle a mix of 16:9 and 4:3
program material. Certain 4:3 program material, such
as stock market data screens, may occasionally cause
the image size to change unexpectedly. When viewing
such programs, it is recommended that the ASPECT
be set to NORMAL.
