Miscellaneous There is something wrong with the TV. Try this! The TV is hot. Watching TV for an extended period of time causes the panel to generate heat. The heat from the panel is dissipated through internal vents running along the top part of the TV. The bottom portion, however, may feel hot to the touch after extended use. Children watching TV need constant adult supervision to prevent them from touching the TV. This heat, however, is not a defect and does not affect the TV's functionality. The picture won't display in full screen. HD channels will have black bars on either side of the screen when displaying upscaled SD (4:3) content. Black bars will appear at the top and bottom of the screen when you watch movies that have aspect ratios different from your TV. Adjust the picture size options on your external device or set the TV to full screen. The "Mode Not Supported" message appears. Check the supported resolutions of the TV and adjust the external device's output resolution accordingly. The Captions item in the TV menu is grayed out. Users cannot select the Caption menu if you have selected a source connected to the TV via HDMI or Component. The external device's caption function must also be activated. The TV smells of plastic. This smell is normal and will dissipate over time. The TV's Signal Information option is not activated in the Self Diagnosis. Verify that the current channel is a digital channel. Signal Information is only available with digital channels. The TV is tilted to the side. Remove the base stand from the TV and reassemble it. Broadcasting is grayed out. The Broadcasting menu is only available when Source is set to TV. The Broadcasting menu cannot be accessed while watching TV using a cable box or satellite receiver. The settings are lost after 30 minutes or every time the TV is turned off. If Use Mode is set to Store Demo, the TV's audio and video settings are automatically reset every 30 minutes. Change Use Mode (Support > Use Mode) to Home Use. There is an intermittent loss of audio or video. Check the cable connections and reconnect them. Loss of audio or video can be caused by using overly rigid or thick cables. Make sure the cables are flexible enough for long term use. If you are mounting the TV to a wall, we recommend using cables with 90-degree connectors.
