Other Information

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.
“Black box” on screen • You have selected a text option and no text is available (see page 41). To turn off
this feature, set CC Display to Off. If you were trying to select closed
captioning, select CC1 instead of Text1-4.

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 (or contact your
program provider).
• Programs in 4:3 aspect ratio will have bands on left and right sides of the
screen.
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 television.
