It does this using a four step process (WSS, Control signal through SCART / HDMI terminal, Letterbox detection, or Justify to fill the screen) to determine. 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.

Characters table: Technical Information HDMI connection HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) is the world’s first complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard. HDMI allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and high-quality sound by connecting the TV and the equipment. HDMI-compatible equipment (∗1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a DVD player, a set top box or a game equipment, can be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable. About connections, see “External Equipment” (p. 72). ■ Applicable HDMI features ● Input audio signal : 2ch Linear PCM (sampling frequencies - 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz) ● Input video signal : 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p “Input signal that can be displayed” (p. 79) Match the output setting of the digital equipment. ● Input PC signal : “Input signal that can be displayed” (p. 79) Match the output setting of the PC. ● VIERA Link (HDAVI Control 4) : “VIERA Link” (p. 67) ● Deep Colour ● x.v.Colour™ ■ DVI connection If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI1 / 4 terminal via a DVI to HDMI adapter cable (∗2). When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal (HDMI1: use COMPONENT-AUDIO terminals / HDMI4: use AV3 audio terminals). Note ● Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI1 / 4 Input” in the Sound Menu. (p. 31) ● HDMI2 and HDMI3 terminals are for digital audio signal only. ● If the connected equipment has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to “16:9”. ● These HDMI connectors are “type A”. ● These HDMI connectors are compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) copyright protection. ● An equipment having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either “COMPONENT”, “S-VIDEO”, or “VIDEO” to receive analogue signals. ● This TV incorporates HDMI™ (Version 1.3a with Deep Colour, x.v.Colour™) technology. (∗1): The HDMI logo is displayed on HDMI-compliant equipment. (∗2): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.
