PICTURE QUALITY 
IS HORRIBLE!! 
For best image quality, view HD widescreen programs where 
possible. If HD content is not available view “Standard 
Definition” from a digital source. Standard, analog TV will 
always be noticeable inferior to HD because your TV has video 
that is many times better than old TV’s and so you can see 
interference and deficiencies you did not KNOW you had. 
PICTURE HAS 
PIXELS THAT ARE 
ALWAYS 
DISPLAYING THE 
SAME COLOR 
Your TV is manufactured using an extremely high level of 
precision technology, however, sometimes some pixels of your 
TV may not display. Pixels defects within industry specifications 
are inherent to this type of product and do not constitute a 
defective product. 
I CANNOT CHANGE 
THE TIME 
MANUALLY 
Your TV syncs time automatically according to your local TV 
channel. This function only works while the TV’s tuner is 
connected to an ANTENNA. 
BIG BLACK BOX IN 
THE MIDDLE OF 
SCREEN 
You have turned on closed captioning and are using TEXT1 – 
TEXT4. Change the setting to CC1 or turn off closed captioning 
and the box will disappear. Refer to page 34 for more 
information. 
SWITCHING A 
CHANNEL OR 
SOURCE CHANGES 
THE VOLUME 
Different channels and inputs will sometimes have this effect 
because the channel signal’s own volume is already loud. 
There is no way remove this completely. The TV has an AUTO 
VOLUME LEVEL function that can combat this type of effect. 
Please make sure that function is turned on. 
THERE IS NOISE 
OR TRASH PIXELS 
ON THE SCREEN 
When your TV’s resolution is higher than the digital channel’s 
broadcast resolution, the signal is up-converted to match your 
TV’s resolution. Up-converting can cause this type of effect. 
TIPS FOR HIGH 
DEFINITION USERS 
The TV is an ideal platform for viewing High Definition Content. 
The best image quality can be achieved by HDMI, YPbPr 
(Component), then VGA. However, due to variances in 
broadcast practices, it is possible some image distortions can 
occur. 
TIPS FOR 
LETTERBOX 
CONTENT USERS 
Letterboxed (Widescreen) versions of DVD movies are most 
commonly formatted for standard 4:3 TVs. The TV has the 
capability of expanding this content so the entire screen is filled 
at the expense of the image proportion. To use this function 
press the aspect button on the remote control and cycle among 
the available options. 
I CANNOT FIND THE 
VOLUME AND 
CHANNEL 
CHANGING 
BUTTONS 
The buttons are represented by the ▲▼◄► buttons located on 
the remote control. ▲▼ changes the channels and ◄► 
changes the volume. 
TV TURNS OFF 
AUTOMATICALLY 
AFTER 10 MINUTES 
The TV features a power saving mode which will automatically 
turn off the TV, if there’s no signal provided for more than 10 
minutes.
