AUTOExplanation
NORMAL will display a 4:3 picture at its standard 4:3
size.
ZOOM mode magnifies the central section of the picture.
FULL will display the picture at its maximum size but
with sight elongation.
JUST mode will display a 4:3 picture at its maximum
size but with aspect correction applied to the center of
the screen so that elongation is only apparent at the
left and right edges of the screen. The size of the picture
will depend on the original signal.
Note:
Do not allow the picture to be displayed in 4:3 mode for an extended period, as this can cause a parmanent after-image to
remain on the Plasma Display Panel.

The display will automatically become enlarged

Note:
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 NORMAL.Panasonic AUTO
