	when played on a 4:3 TV.	Record programs in Cropped mode if playing back on a 4:3 TV.
31.	Excessive digital artifacts.	• The IEEE 1394 cable is too long (15 feet between devices is the
		maximum length).
		• There may be a slow device in the middle of the IEEE 1394 network.
		Move the slow devices to the end so that connections for faster
		devices do not pass through them.
32.	Cannot see a picture from a DV Camcorder.	• Go to Device Selection menu and select analog connection.
		• Connect the DV Camcorder to analog input (for example, Input-3).
		Select Setup from the main menu, then Change. At the Change
		screen, select the camcorder. On the Name screen, check Analog
		Connection. Select the device and on the following screen, select
		which analog input was used, and check audio and/or video.
33.	DVCR analog/digital problems.	• If the tape is currently playing but no picture displays, you may have a
		mismatch of the media with the display. Press the DEVICE key to
		display the Device Selection menu. Press ENTER for the DVCR
		device. If digital is selected, try analog, or if analog is selected, try
		digital.

	device.	• No media (tape or disc) is inserted into the device.
		• The media is blank (has no recording).
		• The play command failed - Try pressing play again on the device’s
		remote control or front panel.
		• The device is already in use (for example: the device is currently
		recording).
		• The source is copy-protected or violates copy protection.
		• The device’s digital video signal is not supported by the TV, such as
		DV video, common with camcorders. Use analog connections
		instead, if available.
		• The device is not an audio/video device.
		• Too many other devices are already communicating over
		IEEE 1394. Remove or stop some devices and try again.
38.	The IEEE 1394 device cannot be selected.	• The device may be busy, either recording or a peer-to-peer
		connection has been established. Cancel the recording or
		peer-to-peer connection.

		• The IEEE 1394 plug is disconnected or loose.
		• The IEEE 1394 Device has not been powered On. Turn on.
		• The device has not been discovered.
		• The device is not an Audio/Video device
40.	DEVICE MENU button does not display a menu.	• The IEEE 1394 device does not provide a menu.
		• The TV cannot support IEEE 1394 menus. See page 46.
41.	All IEEE 1394 devices disappear.	• The connected devices must not be in a loop that returns to the
		TV. Make sure a device is connected at the end.
		• Disconnect all the cables and devices from the TV. Replace them one
		by one to locate the problem device or cable.
		• Use System Reset (front control panel).
