Tiny black  points and/or bright points appear on the screen.
The  screen  is  composed of pixels. Tiny black points and/or bright  points (pixels)  on the screen  do
not indicate  a malfunction.
Picture  quality is  not as good as viewed  at the store.
Picture quality depends on the signal content. See the specifications  to display the best possible
picture  for that signal.
Distorted picture.
Check the antenna/cable connection.
Keep the antenna/cable TV cable away from other connecting cables.
When installing optional  device, leave some  space between the device and TV.
Set  [Motionflow] to [Standard] or [Off]. (For [Motionflow] compatible models  only.)
Change  the current setting  of [CineMotion] to another setting.
Set  [LNA]  to [Off] to improve picture  reception. ([LNA] may not be available  depending on the
situation/region/country.)
Perform [Fine  Tune]/[AFT] to improve picture  for analog  reception.
Keep the TV away from noise sources  such as mobile  phones, cars, motorcycles, or hair-dryers, Wi-
Fi units, or optical device.
Make  sure  that the antenna is  connected using a 75-ohm  coaxial cable. 
						

							The screen flickers.
Set  [Motionflow] to other than  [Impulse] (e.g.  [Standard]).
No color./Dark  picture./Color is  not correct./Picture is  too bright.
Press the OPTIONS  button, then  select [Picture Adjustments] to make  adjustments.
Select [Reset] in [Picture Adjustments].
If you set [Power Saving] to [Low] or [High], black level will be enhanced.
Blurry picture  or poor color.
Transporting the TV from a cold to a warm  location  or a sudden change in room temperature may
cause moisture condensation,  resulting in a blurry  picture  or poor  color.  Turn off your  TV and wait a
few hours  before powering on again.
Screen format/wide mode  changes automatically.
When changing the channel  or video input,  if [4:3 Default]  in [Screen]  is  not set to [Off], the current
[Wide Mode] setting  is  automatically replaced with the [4:3 Default]  setting.  To lock in [Wide Mode]
selected  with the WIDE button on the remote control, set [4:3 Default]  to [Off].
Check the [Auto Wide] setting  in [Screen].
Suddenly  the picture  becomes  small.
The  picture  becomes smaller  during commercials due to the method used by a provider to
broadcast 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  while the content switches, since the content information  is
regulated by the channel  signal provider. You can manually  change the [Wide Mode] setting  if
desired, which will remain in effect  until you change the channel/input  or manually  change the [Wide
Mode] setting  again.
Black box  on screen.
A text option  is  selected  although no text is  available.  To deactivate this feature, set [CC  Display] to
[Off]. If you are  trying  to select closed captioning, select [CC1] instead  of [Text1] - [Text4] (options
may not be available  depending on your  region/country).
Black bands appear at the edges of the screen.
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 (or
contact  your  program  provider).
Programs in 4:3 aspect  ratio  will have bands  on the left and right  sides of the screen.
Programs broadcasted  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.
[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  set [Wide Mode] to [Wide Zoom] or [Zoom], which will remain
in effect  until you change the channel/input  or manually  change the [Wide Mode] setting  again. 
						

							TV screen feels warm.
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.
