❏Adjust the Brightness option in the Video menu (see page 61).

❏Check the antenna/cable connections.

For optimum picture quality, a 75-ohm coaxial antenna connection is highly recommended. Radio waves and other interference can easily affect a 300-ohm twin lead cable, resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep as far away as possible from the LCD projection TV.

Do not use an indoor antenna; they are especially susceptible to radio noise (see page 29).

Double images

❏ Use a highly directional outdoor antenna or a cable (when the problem is caused

 

by reflections from nearby mountains or tall buildings).

 

❏ Set the Image Shift to an appropriate value. The default setting is Auto. If doubled

 

images appear with Auto, select the best value from 1 to 4 (see page 76).

Black bands appear at the top

❏ Some wide-screen programs are filmed in aspect ratios that are greater than 16:9

and bottom of the screen

(this is especially common with theatrical releases). Your LCD projection 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 (or contact your

 

program provider).

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 Video menu DRC Palette (see page 62) to optimize the picture while viewing these sources.
