Changing the Wide Setup
Watching the TV
Auto Wide setting has two options: “Mode1” and
“Mode2.”
Auto Wide: “Mode1”
Normal broadcast (4:3 aspect ratio) transmits the control signal together with the picture signal. Some video equipment, such as camcorders, transmit the control signal* 1 as well. In “Mode1,” the TV detects the control signal and displays the picture with its original aspect ratio. Note that black bands may appear near the frame, or part of the picture may not appear, if you select the Wide Screen Mode manually while watching the picture without the control signal.
Auto Wide: “Mode2”
In “Mode2,” the TV selects the best Wide Screen
Mode automatically to fit the wide screen, regardless of the control signal.
The factory setting of this TV is:
“Auto Wide” is set to “Mode2,” and “4:3 Default” is set to
“Widezoom.”
* 1 Control signal which returns the picture to its original aspect ratio. The following include the control signal.
– Pictures from camcorder with specified aspect ratio
– Broadcasts with the 4:3 aspect ratio signal
* When “Auto Wide” in the (Screen Control) menu is set to
“Mode2,” and the “4:3 Default” is set to “Normal” (page 28), the picture remains 4:3 aspect ratio (“Normal”).
Tip
Set “Auto Wide” to “Off” when changing the Wide Screen
Mode manually (See page 28).

Tips
• If you select the Wide Screen Mode manually (page 27), the
Wide Screen Mode may not change as noted above.
• If you press the WIDE MODE button (page 27) with Auto
Wide set to on, Auto Wide functions noted above. If you press the WIDE MODE button repeatedly, Wide Screen Mode changes as follows (according to the control signal).
– If the TV receives a picture with control signal, Wide
Screen Mode changes according to the control signal.
– If the TV receives a picture without control signal, Auto
Wide does not function even if “Auto Wide” is set to
“Mode2.” Note that it functions again when you select other channels or inputs, or turn the TV off and on again.
• This TV features superior presentation of movie films by identifying movie signals and processing them accordingly.
When Wide Screen Mode changes automatically with Auto Wide set to on
• The TV receives the picture with a control signal and selects the best Wide Screen Mode automatically to fit the wide screen (See page 26).
• While “Auto Wide” is set to “Mode2,” the picture size may change during commercial breaks. This is because the TV selects the best Wide Screen Mode automatically for each program (See page 26).
Notes on Wide Screen Mode
• The Wide Screen Mode function of this TV allows for various display options: select the appropriate Wide Screen Mode for the original aspect ratio of the picture you are watching.
• If you change the screen size using the WIDE MODE feature with the TV installed in a public space for commercial use or public purpose, it might be an infringement of copyright.
• If you select “Widezoom” when watching the picture with 4:3 aspect ratio, par of the picture is transformed. You can watch the picture with its original aspect ratio in “Normal” mode.
