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 4:3.
• If adjusting the Picture V-Pos/V-Size in Panasonic Auto with 16:9
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.
