Note
• The specifications given for the PC mode are for the PDP-
507XDA. For the PDP-427XDA, the number of panel pixels is
different, and thus signal processing and actual viewing
conditions will vary slightly.
• While watching High Definition TV broadcasting, 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.
Selecting a screen size automatically
The plasma display automatically selects an appropriate screen
size when the received video signals contain WSS (wide screen
signalling) information, when the broadcasting signals (DTV only)
contain information other than WSS, or when video signals are
received from connected HDMI equipment (see page 54). 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 “On“ (/ 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 “On” selected.
Selecting a screen size for 4:3 aspect ratio signals
Specify whether the plasma display should choose the 4:3 mode or
WIDE mode when 4:3 aspect ratio signals are received with the
Auto Size function activated.

3 Select “4:3 Mode” (/ then ENTER).
