Panasonic Tau televisions were designed to provide high quality video output to enhance television programs, sports broadcasts, movies and other types of video. Video is sometimes recorded at an aspect ratio that is not compatible with your Panasonic Tau television, producing black bars on the television. Adjust the aspect ratio on your Tau to fit the program on the screen according to your preferences.
Instructions
1. Turn on your Panasonic Tau television and tune to the channel you want to watch. If you are watching a program from a component device, such as a DVD player, press the "TV/Video" button on the remote control and then the number button that corresponds to the correct input. For example, if your DVD player is connected to the Video 1 terminals, press "TV/Video" and then "5."
2. Start the component program if the program you want to watch is played by a component device.
3. Press the "Aspect" button on the Panasonic Tau remote control to adjust the television's aspect ratio. The Panasonic Tau has four aspect ratio options: 4:3, which displays the program at standard 4:3 ratio; Zoom, which stretches the height and width of a 4:3 video; Full, which adjusts the video to fill the entire screen; and Just, which stretches the width of the video.
