Video Mute
The default is On, which displays a blue background when
no signal is being received on the
INPUT
,
COMPO-
NENT,
or
HDMI
jacks.
Film Mode (480i signals only)
Auto is the default setting. With Auto selected, the TV
automatically detects and applies film-decoding correc-
tion for images that originated on 24-frame-per-second film
cameras and were converted to 30-frame-per-second video
for broadcast (3:2 pulldown conversion). Try the Off setting
if the TV adds noticeable jagged edges to the images.
When the original video was filmed on 30-frame-per-
second cameras, the Auto setting automatically applies
video decoding, the same as used with the Off setting.
Film Mode is not effective for high-definition signals.
TV Speakers
This selection turns the TV’s internal speakers on or off.
Select Off:
• When sending the sound through a separate sound
system or surround sound A/V receiver.
• If your A/V receiver is under NetCommand control
Note: To prevent damage from a sudden increase in vol-
ume, turn the TV volume down low before chang-
ing this option to On.
