Suddenly the picture gets
smaller.
❑ The picture gets smaller during the commercials, this is due to the method
the provider broadcasts their contents. When HD content channels switch
to SD definition content (commercials), the picture may be small with a
black border.
❑ Auto Wide will not expand the picture during these content changes since
the content information is regulated by the channel signal provider. You can
manually change the Wide Mode if you prefer (page 23). This setting will
remain in effect until you change the channel or input or manually change
the Wide Mode again.
“Black box” on screen.
❑ You have selected a text option and no text is available (page 38). To turn
off this feature, set the Closed Captions option to Off. If you were trying
to select closed captioning, select CC1 instead of Text1-4.
Black bands appear at the top
and bottom 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 (or
contact your program provider).
❑ Programs in 4:3 aspect ratio will have bands on left and right sides of the
screen. To select full size see page 32.
❑ Programs broadcasted 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.
❑ 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.
❑ The compression used by certain digital broadcasts and DVDs 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. This is due to your
TV’s large screen and ability to show very fine detail, and is normal for
certain digitally recorded programs.
Remote control does not
operate.
❑ Check the polarity of the batteries or replace the batteries.
❑ Point the remote control at the remote control sensor of the TV.
❑ Fluorescent lamps can interfere with your remote control operation; try
turning off the fluorescent lamps.
❑ Keep the remote control sensor area clear from obstacles.
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 (page 34).
Lost password.
❑ Select the Parental Lock menu, then enter the following master
password: 4357. The master password clears your previous password and
allows you to enter a new password (page 35).
