Condition General TV screen feels warm Wide Mode changes automatically Suddenly the picture gets smaller "Black box" on screen Black bands appear at the edges of the screen Explanation/Solution • Due to the thin profile of this television, the heat generated by the LCD panel backlight and supporting electronics will be more noticeable. This is normal operation and not a cause for concern. • 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 54). • Check the Auto Wide option in the Screen settings (see page 54). • 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 33). This setting will remain in effect until you change the channel or input or manually change the Wide Mode again. • You have selected a text option and no text is available (see page 62). To turn off this feature, set the CC Display option to Off. If you were trying to select closed captioning, select CC1 instead of Text1-4. • 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/Blu-ray (or contact your program provider). • Programs in 4:3 aspect ratio will have bands on left and right sides of the screen. • Programs broadcast 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, or Zoom to fill the screen, which will remain in effect until you change the channel or input or manually change the Wide Mode again.
