You can change the screen size according to
the picture aspect ratio. Choose the optimum
one from the following ZOOM modes.
• The ZOOM mode is fixed at FULL when
you are using the TV as a PC screen.
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 according to 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 33.

quality or when you want to change the
ZOOM mode, press the c button

ratio) to the upper and lower limits of the
screen.
