Well at last I had a reply re autoswitching from Panasonic Tech and it looks as though it's a broadcasters thing(if we believe everything that Techno people say)this is the reply
Thank you for your e-mail enquiry.
In response, I would explain that the LXD60 will auto aspect switch provided the source is sending the correct control voltage via SCART pin 8. All HDMI signals are generally sent as 16:9 aspect since HDMI is designed to be only a 16:9 connection format.
In this case it appears one of the satellite channels was not signalling the sat box to change pin 8 status, i.e. possibly no WSS signal being received. Please note this WSS flag is set by the broadcaster.
I trust that the above information will be of assistance to you. However, of course, if you should have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us by either emailing us at
customer.care@panasonic.co.uk, by fax on 01344 853213, or by telephoning our Customer Care Centre on 0844 844 3852.
