Image Issues 7. My picture is not filling the screen. I have black bars around my picture. • This is due to the aspect ratio. An increasing amount of digital TV and movies is presented in wide screen (16:9). • To change the appearance of the screen, cycle through these four options by pressing the Zoom button on the remote: o Normal: Selects the aspect ratio that matches to source's aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9) o Wide: Displays a full-screen image o Zoom: Enlarges the picture. The top and bottom may be cropped. o Cinema: Stretches the image at the edges while maintaining a clear image in the center of the screen. 8. I have poor picture quality. • Make sure your cable connections are connected securely. • If you are receiving service from a cable or satellite provider, reception can vary by channel depending on the broadcast power level of a given station. Contact your cable or satellite provider. • If you are using an antenna, the signal strength of the channel may be low. o Check the signal strength of the digital channels: 1. Press MENU. The on-screen menu opens. 2. Press ◄ or ► to highlight Channel, then press ▼. The Channel menu opens. The DTV signal strength is shown at the bottom of the menu. 3. Press EXIT to close the menu. o The UHF band (channels 14 and higher) is more directional than VHF (channels 2-13) and more sensitive to obstacles (such as trees, tall buildings, and mountains) that lie between your antenna and the broadcast tower. Getting good UHF reception can be more difficult than VHF. o If you're getting marginal reception of digital signals, both the picture and sound might freeze or break up to the point that it's not watchable. If you're really on the fringes-either too far from a tower or with too many obstacles in the way-you'll see a black screen that says "No signal". o Reception can vary by channel, depending on the location and broadcast power level of a given station. o Make sure your antenna is connected securely to the TV. o Move the antenna around the room or close to a window. Check the signal strength of the digital channels again. The optimal location may vary by channel. o Use a basic indoor set-top antenna designed to pick up both VHF and UHF. OR Use a set-top antenna that has a built-in signal amplifier. OR Use an antenna mounted on your roof or in your attic. 4
