General

TV Displays white 
lines in letterbox 

when viewing a 
DVD disc

Some DVD Discs are encoded with as much as 30% more video information to give the best 
possible picture quality. With the DVD Player in the “letterbox” picture format, the playback of this 
type of disc with extra video information can produce a number of small white lines in the 
upper portion of the black letterbox area. With some of these discs, this problem is inherent 
and does not require a service call.
