Black bands appear at the
top and bottom 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).
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 DRC
Palette menu (see page 93) to optimize the picture while viewing these
sources.
