Note
• While receiving High Definition video signals, pressing f
switches among “FULL”, “WIDE”, “4:3”, and “ZOOM”.
• Some HD broadcasts may display 4:3 content with side masks,
which may cause uneven wear. After viewing it is recommended
to view full-screen motion video (see
Detecting side masks ).
• The specifications given for the PC source is for the PDP-5080XD/
PDP-SX5080D. For the PDP-4280XD/PDP-SX4280D, the number
of panel pixels is different, and thus signal processing and actual
viewing conditions will vary slightly.
Selecting a screen size automatically
The plasma television automatically selects an appropriate screen
size when the received video signals contain WSS (wide screen
signaling) information or when video signals are received from a
connected HDMI equipment (see page 61). To activate this
function, use the following procedure.
1 Press HOME MENU.
2 Select “Option“ ( / then ENTER).
3 Select “Auto Size“ ( / then ENTER).
4 Select “Natural” or “Wide-Zoom” ( / then ENTER).
5 Press HOME MENU to exit the menu.
Note
• Manually select an appropriate screen size if an image does not
automatically switch to a correct screen format.
• When the video signal contains no aspect ratio information, the
function will not work even with “Natural” or “Wide-Zoom”
selected.
Detecting side masks
Some HD broadcasts may display 4:3 content with side masks. The
plasma television automatically detects these side masks to provide
grey side masks when “Natural” has been selected for “Auto Size”,
or display the image full screen with the side masks removed when
“Wide-Zoom” has been selected. This function does not operate
when “Off” is selected for “Auto Size”.
1 Press HOME MENU.
2 Select “Option“ ( / then ENTER).
3 Select “Side Mask“ ( / then ENTER).
4 Select “Detection” ( /).
5 Select “On” ( /).
6 Press HOME MENU to exit the menu.
Important
• The “On” setting prevents uneven wear on 4:3 content and side
masks and can reduce the possibility of image retention.
Note
• You cannot set the Side Mask detection to “On” or “Off” when
“Off” is selected in “Auto Size”.
• The Side Mask detection does not operate on 4:3 content
displayed in SD signals.
• “Auto” will appear on the channel display when this function is
on.
• Set the Side Mask detection function to “On”, the High
Definition 16:9 aspect ratio images containing side masks will
be detected and the side masks will be added automatically or
the image displayed in full screen, leading to more effective
countermeasures taken for the screen burning.
• Detection errors may occur depending on the HD contents. In
case a detection error occurs, manually change the screen size
to the desired size.
