About DCF File
Names
Most Sony brand digital still and video cameras automatically record still
photo and movie files using DCF compliant directory and file names.
If you selected the Digital Camera Folders option, as described on page 67,
you might want to have your digital camera’s instruction manual handy in
order to check how files and directories are organized for your specific
model of digital camera.
DCF stands for “Design Rules for Camera File Systems,” which are
specifications established by the Japan Electronics and Information
Technology Industries Association (JEITA: formerly JEIDA).
Only DCF compliant directory and file names can be displayed on this TV
such as illustrated below.

Other Information

Problem Possible Remedies
Black bands appear at the top .
Some wide-screen programs are filmed in aspect ratios that are greater than 16:9

and bottom of the screen
(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).

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. Adjust the reality/clarity in the DRC Palette setting (see page 72) to
optimize the picture while viewing these sources.
Audio


Problem Possible Remedies
Good picture, no sound .
Press MUTING so that Muting disappears from the screen (see page 42).

Make sure the Speaker option is set to On in the Audio setting (see page 75).
.
Make sure the MTS option is set to Stereo or Mono (see page 75).
.
When the HDMI IN input is in use, surround sound, such as AC-3 and DTS,
cannot be input. Change the sound setting for the external input device to Linear
PCM.
Audio noise .
Communication problems may occur if infrared communication equipment (e.g.,
infrared cordless headphones) is used near the TV. Use headphones other than
infrared cordless headphones. Also, if you use infrared communication equipment
other than infrared cordless headphones, move the infrared transceiver away from
the TV until the noise is eliminated, or move the transmitter and receiver of the
infrared communication equipment closer together.

Cannot gain enough volume

.
Increase the volume of the cable box using the cable box’s remote control. Then
press TV (FUNCTION) once (the TV indicator lights up) and adjust the TV’s
volume.
Sound seems weak or
insufficient
.
The TV’s audio might be set to Auto SAP or Mono, when it might be better set to
Stereo. In the Audio setting (see page 75), set the MTS setting to Stereo. If
already set to Stereo, switch to Mono (which may reduce background noise
during weak stereo broadcasts).

Cannot raise the volume on .
If the Speaker option is set to Off and the Audio Out option is set to Fixed (in
