“Black box” on screen s You have selected a text option in the Setup Menu and no text is available. (See
page 104 to reset Setup selections.) To turn off this feature, set the Caption Vision
option to Off. If you were trying to select closed captioning, select CC1 instead of
TEXT 1-4.
Bars appear at the top and
bottom of the screen
s Some wide-screen programs are filmed in aspect ratios that are greater than 16:9,
such as 2.35:1. (This is especially common with theatrical releases). Your TV will
show these programs with bars 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
s 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 option (see page 93) to
optimize the picture while viewing these sources.
