ZOOM function
You can change the screen size according to the picture
aspect ratio. Choose the optimum one from the following
ZOOM modes.
AUTO:
When a WSS (Wide Screen Signalling) signal, which shows
the aspect ratio of the picture, is included in the broadcast
signal or the signal from an external device, the TV
automatically changes the ZOOM mode to 16:9 ZOOM
mode or FULL mode according to the WSS signal.
If a WSS signal is not included, the picture is displayed in
accordance with the ZOOM mode set with the 4:3 AUTO
ASPECT function.
• For details of the 4:3 AUTO ASPECT function, see "4:3
AUTO ASPECT" on page 23.
• When the AUTO (WSS) mode does not function
correctly due to poor WSS signal quality or when you
want to change the ZOOM mode, press the c
button and change to another ZOOM mode.
REGULAR:
Use to view a normal picture (4:3 aspect ratio) as this is its
original shape.
PANORAMIC:
This stretches the left and right sides of a normal picture
(4:3 aspect ratio) to fill the screen, without making the
picture appear unnatural.
• The top and bottom of the picture are slightly cut off.
14:9 ZOOM:
This zooms up the wide picture (14:9 aspect ratio) to the
upper and lower limits of the screen.
16:9 ZOOM:
This zooms up the wide picture (16:9 aspect ratio) to the
full screen.
16:9 ZOOM SUBTITLE:
This zooms up the wide picture (16:9 aspect ratio) with
subtitles to the full screen.
FULL:
This uniformly stretches the left and right sides of a normal
picture (4:3 aspect ratio) to fill the wide TV screen.
• For 16:9 aspect ratio pictures that have been squeezed
into a normal picture (4:3 aspect ratio), use the FULL
mode to restore the picture to its original shape.
