The TV has pixels (dots) that are always dark.
• Your HDTV is precision-manufactured using an extremely
high level of technology. However, sometimes pixels may
not display correctly. These types of occurrences are
inherent to this type of product and do not constitute a
defective product.
The display image does not cover the entire screen.
• Some programs have black bars on the top or sides of
the picture so that the picture keeps its original shape.
Examples include wide-screen movies and older television
programs.
• Press the WIDE button on the remote to change the width
of the image. See
Changing the Screen Aspect Ratio
on page
21 for an explanation of each option.
• Adjust the video settings of the device that is the source of
the video (Blu-ray player, DVD player, cable or satellite box,
etc.).
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 diers from
the one on the input source you switch from, the dierence
may be noticeable.

• Check the audio settings. See
Adjusting the Audio Settings
on page 31. Ensure that the speakers are set to On.
• Ensure no headphones are connected to the TV.
• Check the audio connections of external devices (Blu-ray
player, game console, cable/satellite box) that are
connected to the TV.
• 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.
When I change input source, the volume changes.
• The TV remembers the volume level on each input source. If
the volume level on the new input source is higher or lower
than the level on the source you switch from, the dierence
may be noticeable.
• Use the Volume Up/Down buttons on the remote to adjust
the volume.
