Black bands appear at the
edges of the screen

• Some wide screen programs are filmed in aspect ratios that are greater

than 16:9 (this is especially common with theatrical releases). Your TV
will show these programs with black bands at the top and bottom of the
screen. For more details, check the documentation that came with your
DVD/Blu-ray (or contact your program provider).

• Programs in 4:3 aspect ratio will have bands on left and right sides of the

screen.

• Programs broadcast in HD formats (720p and 1080i) with 4:3 content

will commonly have black bands on the left and right sides of the screen
which are added by the broadcaster (see image on left).

Auto Wide will not expand the picture when the black bands on the

sides of the screen are added by the broadcaster. You can manually
change the Wide Mode to Wide Zoom, or Zoom to fill the screen,
which will remain in affect until you change the channel or input or
manually change the Wide Mode again.

Certain programs on DVD
or other digital sources
display a loss of detail,
especially during fast-
motion or dark scenes

• This is due to the digital compression of the source content used by

certain digital broadcasts and DVDs which may cause your TV’s screen
to display less detail than usual, or cause artifacts (small blocks or dots,
pixelations) to appear on your screen. These signal compressions are
more visible and are dependent on the clarity and resolution of the TV.

Some digital cable channels
are not being displayed

• Certain cable companies have limitations on the broadcast of digital

cable channels. Check with your cable company for more information.

• The digital cable channel may be set to Hidden in the Show/Hide

Channels setting (see page 32).

Photo files are not being
displayed from my USB
equipment or digital
camera’s internal memory

• If “This USB device is not supported” appears on your TV screen, there

may be a problem with your USB connection or a FAT12 device is
connected. This TV only supports FAT16 and FAT32 file systems.

• Photo files cannot be displayed from a digital camera’s internal memory.

Copy the photo files into USB memory equipment or a USB device that
supports FAT16 or FAT32 files.

Some photo files are not
displayed from my USB
equipment

• The accessible folder limit is 36 hierarchies for USB connected

equipment.

• The accessible file or folder limit in a directory is 1,000 for USB

connected equipment. This limit includes non-JPEG, MP3 files or just
folders. Files or folders are populated based on their time stamps. Photos
exceeding the limit will not be displayed.

Photo images appear small
on the screen

• Whether or not photo images can or cannot be displayed in full-screen

depends on the resolution or aspect ratio of the file.

Photo images or folders
take time to display

• Depending on the image dimension, file size, and number of files in a

folder, some photo images or folders take time to display.

• The first time a camera is connected to the TV via USB cable, it may take

up to a couple of minutes for the photos to display.
