Auto mode automatically detects various screen formats that are transmitted in either
conventional (4:3) or wide screen (16:9/14:9L). After detecting which signal is being
transmitted the TV will automatically switch to the correct screen ratio.
In example 1 (left) a 4:3 conventional picture format is shown, note the black bars to
the sides of the screen, this is consistent with screen compression.
4:3 mode can also be manually selected if desired.

The various screen modes below and on Wide Screen Modes Section are available on this model. Each of these modes are accessed
using the 16:9 button on your handset

Panoramic mode emulates that of a Wide Screen broadcast for 4 x 3 transmissions.
This is achieved by maintaining the proportions of the centre of the screen while
extending the images on the sides of the screen
(example 4).
This mode is generally recommended if AUTO is not selected.
PANORAMIC
A UTO mode can also detect 14:9L ratio signals, when this mode has been selected
thin black bars appear to the sides of the screen (example 3).
NOTE: Other screen formats may be transmitted by certain
broadcasters, these are 14 x 9L True Wide Screen and 16 x 9L/14 x 9L with
subtitles. Your TV is able to detect these formats and adjust the set automatically
(subject to WSS transmitting).
Example 2 (left) illustrates a 16:9 Wide Screen picture format. This type of picture
fills the entire TV screen. The 16:9 mode can also be
manually selected if desired.
Hitachi recommend that AUTO is selected for the majority of TV viewing.
NOTES: The function of the AUTO mode is dependent on whether the Wide Screen
Signalling (WSS) is transmitting, check with your local operator for availability.
When WSS is not active the picture mode will default to the Feature settings (see
Wide Screen Modes Section )
