DISTORTED OR
HAS ABNORMAL
SOUND

component in 480i resolution, use the ASPECT button to switch
to 16:9 in order to fill up the screen. Please Note : This note
this feature will distort the picture.
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.

PIXELS THAT ARE
ALWAYS
DISPLAYING THE
SAME COLOR

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.
