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 36 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.
