Image “noise/fuzz”
• When your HDTV ’s capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal, the signal is
up-converted (increased) to match your TV’s display capabilities. Up-converting
can cause image “noise” or “fuzz”.
• If you are using an antenna, the signal strength of the channel may be low.
Make sure your antenna is connected securely to the TV and move the antenna
around the room or close to a window.

Tips for High-Definition
Users
• Your HDTV is an ideal platform for viewing High Definition Content.
• Best image quality will be achieved by using an HDMI cable and input. The next
best is Component, followed by Composite. Note: Composite (AV and S-Video
inputs) cannot carry an HD quality image signal.
• Due to variances in broadcast practices, it is possible some imag e distortions
can occur.
Tips for Letterbox Content
• Some Letterboxed (or “Widescreen”) versions of DVD movies are formatted for
standard 4:3 Televisions. Your HDTV has the ability to expand this content so
the entire screen is filled at the expense of image accuracy. To use this
function, select Wide from the HDTV Settings App.
