PC Input
No picture / No signal • Confirm the PC is correctly connected to the TV with either the PC IN (with an
HDI5 cable) or with the HDMI IN.
• Ensure the output signal from the PC is one of the formats listed on page 14.
• Turn the PC off. Confirm the PC connection and restart the PC. Plug-and-play
will auto-detect the TV and correctly set up PC timing.
• Verify PC Power Management is activated (see page 53).
• Verify the PC is not in standby or hibernation mode.
Poor Picture • Adjust the resolution (see page 14).

General
Wide Mode changes
automatically
Suddenly the picture gets
smaller
• The current Wide Mode setting is automatically replaced with the 4:3
Default setting when you change the channel or video input, if 4:3 Default in
the Screen
settings is set to other than Off. If you want to lock in Wide Mode
selected with WIDE on the remote control, set 4:3 Default to Off in the
Screen
settings (see page 46).
• Check the Auto Wide option in the
Screen
settings (see page 45).
• The picture gets smaller during the commercials due to the method in which the
provider broadcasts their content. When HD content channels switch to SD
content (commercials), the picture may be small with a black border.
• Auto Wide will not expand the picture during these content changes since the
content information is regulated by the channel signal provider. You can
manually change the Wide Mode if you prefer (see page 21). This setting will
remain in effect until you change the channel or input or manually change the
Wide Mode again.
"Black box" on screen
Black bands appear at the
edges of the screen
Audio comes earlier than
picture
• You have selected a text option and no text is available (see page 48). To turn off
this feature, set the CC Display option to Oil. If you were trying to select
closed captioning, select CC1 instead of "l'extl-4.
• 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.
• Programs broadcasted in HD formats (720p and 1080i) with 4:3 content will
commonly have black bands on the left and right sides of the screen which are
added by the broadcaster (see image on left).
• Auto Wide will not expand the picture when the black bands on the sides of
the screen are added by the broadcaster. You can manually change the Wide
Mode to Wide Zoom, H Stretch or Zoom to fill the screen, which will
remain in affect until you change the channel or input or manually change the
Wide Mode again.
• For 1080124p signal, picture delay may not be correctable on some AV
equipment. In this case, set Speakers to Audio System in the Sound
setting (see page 45), output audio from DIGITAL AUDIO OUT of the TV to
the AV equipment, or set DRC Mode to Off: in the Picture setting (see page
41).
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 TV.
