Double images ❏ Using a highly directional outdoor antenna or a cable may solve the problem.
“Black box” on screen ❏ You have selected a text option in the Setup menu and no text is available. (See
page 122 to reset Setup selections.) To turn off this feature, set the Caption
Vision option to Off. If you were trying to select closed captioning, select CC1
instead of Text 1-4.
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 SXRD projection 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
SXRD projection 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
SXRD projection 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 110) to optimize the picture while viewing these
sources.
"Iris Unit error" appears while
Cinema Black Pro is set to On
❏ The Iris Control may have a problem. Call your local Sony Service Center.
