Other Information

ConditionExplanation/Resolution

Certain programs on DVD or other digital sources display a loss of detail, especially during fast-motion or dark scenes

❏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 setting (see page 35) to optimize the picture while viewing these sources.
