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 slight
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.
Notes:
• 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.
• If adjusting the PICTURE V-POS/V-SIZE in Panasonic AUTO with FULL
mode, the adjustment is not memorized. When exiting the mode, the
screen will return to a former adjustment.
• Panasonic AUTO can not be selected while TY-FB9BD (optional BNC
Dual Video Terminal Board) is installed.
