Note

• The specifications given for the PC source are for the PDP-

508XG. For the PDP-428XG, the number of panel pixels is

different, and thus signal processing and actual viewing

conditions will vary slightly.

• While receiving High Definition video signals, pressing f

switches among FULL, WIDE, 4:3, and ZOOM.

• Some HD broadcasts may display 4:3 content with side masks,

which may cause uneven wear. After viewing it is

recommended to view full-screen motion video (see Detecting

side masks).

Selecting a screen size automatically

The plasma television automatically selects an appropriate screen

size when the received video signals contain WSS (wide screen

signaling) information or when video signals are received from a

connected HDMI equipment (see Using the HDMI Input on

page 45). To activate this function, use the following procedure.

1 Press HOME MENU.

2 Select “Option“ (/ then ENTER).

3 Select “Auto Size“ (/ then ENTER).

4 Select “Natural” or “Wide-Zoom” (/ then ENTER).

5 Press HOME MENU to exit the menu.

Note

• Manually select an appropriate screen size if an image does

not automatically switch to a correct screen format.

• When the video signal contains no aspect ratio information,

the function will not work even with “Natural” or “Wide-Zoom”

selected.

Detecting side masks

Some HD broadcasts may display 4:3 content with side masks. The

plasma television automatically detects these side masks to

provide gray side masks when “Natural” has been selected for

“Auto Size”, or display the image full screen with the side masks

removed when “Wide-Zoom” has been selected. This function does

not operate when “Off” is selected for “Auto Size”.

1 Press HOME MENU.

2 Select “Option“ (/ then ENTER).

3 Select “Side Mask“ (/ then ENTER).

4 Select “Detection” (/).

5 Select “On” (/).

6 Press HOME MENU to exit the menu.

Important

• The “On” setting prevents uneven wear on 4:3 content and side

masks and can reduce the possibility of image retention.
