Technical Information

Aspect Ratio

The optimum size and aspect can be chosen, and you can enjoy finer images. (p. 10)

■ Auto aspect: Auto aspect determines the best aspect ratio to use to fill your screen. It does this using a four step process to determine if the picture being viewed is a widescreen picture.

If Auto aspect detects a widescreen signal it switches into the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen mode. If Auto aspect does not detect a widescreen signal then this advanced TV set enhances the picture for optimum viewing pleasure.

The text shown on the screen indicates how Auto aspect determined which ratio to use:

"WIDE" appears in the top left of the screen if a widescreen identification signal (WSS) is found or a signal found through a SCART terminal. Auto aspect switches to the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen ratio. This function will also work in any aspect mode. "Auto aspect" appears in the top left of the screen if black stripes above and below the picture are detected. Auto aspect chooses the best ratio and expands the picture to fill the screen. This process can take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the picture.

  • The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is greater than the standard "16:9", black bands may appear at the top and bottom of the screen.
  • If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR, adjust the tracking of the VCR. (See the VCR manual.)
    ● To select the ratio manually:

16:9
PANASONIC Viera TX-26LE7P - Aspect Ratio - 1

Directly displays the image at "16:9" without distortion (anamorphic).

14:9
PANASONIC Viera TX-26LE7P - Aspect Ratio - 2

Displays a "21:9" letterbox (anamorphic) image full-screen without distortion. At "16:9", displays the image at its maximum (with slight enlargement).

HDMI connection

HDMI (high-defi nition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-defi nition digital images and high-quality sound by connecting the TV unit and the equipment.

HDMI-compatible equipment (*1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a set top box or a DVD player, can be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.

  • HDMI is the world's first complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard.
  • If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI terminal via a DVI to HDMI adapter cable (*2).
  • When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal.
    ● Audio settings can be made on the "HDMI input" menu screen. (p. 11)
    ● Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (2ch L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz

(*1): The HDMI logo is displayed on an HDMI-compliant equipment. (*2): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.

Note

  • Use with a PC is not assumed.
    ● The 720p/1080i signals will be reformatted before being displayed on the screen.
  • If the connected equipment has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to "16:9".
    ● This HDMI connector is Type A.
  • An equipment having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either "Component", "S-VIDEO", or "Video" to receive analogue signals.
    ● The HDMI input terminal can be used with only the following image signals: 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p and 1080i. Match the output setting of the digital equipment.
  • For details of the applicable HDMI signals, see p. 26.

HDMI connections to some Panasonic equipments allow you to enjoy the easy playback or home theatre.

  • Setup the equipment to enable this function. Read the manual of the equipment.
    ● This function may not work normally depending on the equipment condition.
  • Image or sound may not be available for the first few seconds when the playback starts.
  • Image or sound may not be available for the first few seconds when Input mode is switched.
    ● Volume function will be displayed when adjusting the volume of the equipment
    ● Easy playback is also available by using the remote control for Amplifi er. Read the manuals of Amplifi er.
