The image quality is not good.
• For the best image quality, view high-definition 
programs using digital sources. Connect your devices 
with HDMI cables.
• 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. 
The picture is distorted.
• Nearby electrical devices may be interfering with the 
TV. Separate the TV from electrical appliances, cars, or 
fluorescent 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.
• If you are using TV, AV1, AV2, or Component with 480i 
input, press 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 occurrences 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. 
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 difference may be noticeable.
• Use the Volume Up/Down buttons on the remote to 
adjust the volume. 
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 noticeable.
• See Changing the Screen Aspect Ratio on page 18.
