      When using a video software program (such as a cinema size program) with a screen wider than one in the 16:9 mode on your Panasonic Monitor, blank areas separate from the images are formed at the top and bottom of the screen. This is normal when using such programs.

      If you sometimes hear a cracking sound from your Panasonic Monitor, but there is nothing wrong with the picture or sound, this is the sound of the cabinet undergoing very slight contractions in response to changes in the room temperature.
