26 Technical Information Signal name TV/AV/AV/ AV3/AV4 Component/HDMI Aspect atio The optimum size and aspect can be chosen, and you can enjoy fi ner images. (p. 0) Auto aspect: Auto aspect determines the best aspect ratio to use to fi ll 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 6:9 or 4:9 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 identifi cation signal (WSS) is found or a signal found through a SCAT terminal. Auto aspect switches to the appropriate 6:9 or 4:9 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 fi ll the screen. This process can take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the picture.

27 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 ( ) 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 fi rst 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 ( ). 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. 4) Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (ch.pcm): 48 khz, 44. khz, 3 khz ( ): The HDMI logo is displayed on an HDMI-compliant equipment. ( ): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop. Note HDMI terminal is for digital signal only. Use with a PC is not assumed. The 70p/080i signals will be reformatted before being displayed on the screen. If the connected equipment has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to "6:9". These HDMI connectors are "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, 70p and 080i. Match the output setting of the digital equipment. For details of the applicable HDMI signals, see p. 8. PC connection A PC may be connected to this TV unit so that the PC screen is displayed and sound is heard from the TV. PC signals that can be inputted: Horizontal scanning frequency 3 to 69 khz; vertical scanning frequency 59 to 86 Hz (more than,04 signal lines could result in incorrect display of the image). A PC adapter is not necessary for the DOS/V-compliant D-sub 5-pin connector. Note Some PC models cannot be connected to this TV unit. For details of the applicable PC signals, see p. 8.
