When I change input source, the display image changes size.•	The TV remembers the viewing mode on each input source. If 
the viewing mode on the new input source differs from the one 
on the input source you switch from, the difference may be 
noticable.
•	 See 
Changing the Screen Aspect Ratio on page 18.
The picture is distorted.
•	Nearby electrical devices may be interfering with the TV. 
Separate the TV from electrical appliances, cars, or flourescent 
lights.
•	 Ensure all cables are securely attached.  
The display image does not cover the entire screen. •	If you are in RGB mode (computer), ensure that H-Size and 
V-Position in the on-screen menu are set correctly.

the WIDE button on the remote to change the screen mode.  
The TV has pixels (dots) that are always dark or always lit. •	Your HDTV is precision-manufactured using an extremely high 
level of technology. However, sometimes pixels may not display 
correctly. These types of occurences are inherent to this type of 
product and do not constitute a defective product.  
I see “noise” or static on the screen. •	When your TV’s digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast 
signal, the signal is up-converted (improved) to match your TV’s 
display capabilities. This up-converting can sometimes cause 
irregularities in the image.
•	 If you are using an antenna, the signal strength of the channel 
may be low. Ensure your antenna is connected securely to 
the TV and move the antenna around the room or close to a 
window for the best signal.

volume level on the new input source is higher or lower than 
the level on the source you switch from, the difference may be 
noticable.
•	 Use the Volume Up/Down buttons on the remote to adjust the 
volume.
