Problem

Possible Solution

There are black bars

This may occur on a 4:3 TV if the 4:3 OVERRIDE setting is OFF. To cause 4:3 standard

on all four sides of

definition (SD) programming to fill the screen, depending on the capabilities of the TV, set

the picture

4:3 OVERRIDE to 480i or 480p.

This may occur on a 16:9 TV if the active video for an SD broadcast is in letterbox format.

To confirm, wait for a commercial or look for a graphic, such as a network logo. If the

commercial fills the screen from top to bottom, or the graphic appears below the active

video, the program is being letterboxed by the broadcaster. You can minimize this by

activating the zoom feature on the TV.

A broadcaster may include black bars on either side of a wide screen broadcast. This is

called a "hybrid" aspect ratio and results in a black border surrounding the video on a 4:3

TV. Because this is part of the broadcast, the DCT6200 cannot correct the video. You

may be able to minimize the border using the zoom feature on the TV.
