•The screen is different when receiving HDTV signals and other type of signals.

•When the AUTO setting is “ON”, the picture may become larger and smaller, but this is only because the AUTO

setting is automatically selecting the most appropriate image for the incoming video signal and does not indicate a
malfunction. If it is disturbing, please set the AUTO setting to “OFF” and select the appropriate picture size.

•Depending on the picture you are watching the time it takes for the selection to take place may differ.

•For wide picture signals (cinema size, etc.), black bands at the top and bottom of the screen may remain.

•When watching special playback functions (video search, slow playback, etc.) on the VCR, the AUTO setting may

stop operating.

•This unit is equipped with functions, which select appropriate picture mode for all types. Note that if a size mode is

selected that differs from the video display ratio of the software, the view will be different from the original picture.

•When watching a 4:3 format (SIDE BAR) picture adjusted to a full size using the VIEW mode, the peripheral picture

may be invisible or partly deformed. In order to watch the original picture as intended by the copyright holder; please
watch using the SIDE BAR mode.

•Depending on the signal received or the movie software, correct operation cannot be obtained with the AUTO setting.

In this case, after setting the AUTO setting of the VIEW mode to “OFF”, select the appropriate picture size.

•When displaying with the CINEMA mode during the PC mode, the picture will be shown with the top and bottom of

the parts cut off.

appropriate picture mode using the VIEW mode and adjust the vertical position using position adjustment. Noise and
bending of the picture may occur at the top or the edges of the picture but this does not indicate a malfunction.

•Depending on the picture displayed, the display position may not change even though the value of the adjustment

changes.
