...notes on wide screen features
Various broadcast services now transmit movies and programmes
in true wide screen format. Your TV can detect these signals and
automatically switch to the correct format (when in AUTO mode).
However, some broadcasters do not transmit this automatic sensing
signal, and so your TV will not recognise which format is being
transmitted. This situation can be overcome by simply pressing the
key on your handset.

...notes on aspect ratios for external equipment
Laserdisc and videotape players will normally provide either a full 4:3 or letterbox widescreen
format picture with black bands at the top and bottom. For viewing such widescreen picture formats,
Hitachi recommend the C16:9L mode. DVD players will normally give an option of either 4:3 or 16:9
output mode (dependent on player and software - please refer to player instructions) For a full 16:9
picture, Hitachi recommend using the 16:9 mode.
Note:Your TV will automatically switch to 16:9 mode when it receives a true 16:9 Wide Screen Signal
through the external RF aerial or external AV sockets. You can override this change by pressing the
16:9 button on your handset to switch to the desired aspect ratio.
