• 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.
• Programs broadcast in HD formats (720p and lOSOi) 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, H Stretch 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.
Remote control does not
operate • To determine if the problem is with the remote control or not, press a button on
the TV.
• Check the polarity of the batteries or replace the batteries.
• Point the remote control at the remote control sensor located at the front of the TV.
• Keep the remote control sensor area clear from obstacles.
• Fluorescent lamps can interfere with your remote control operation; try turning
