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 LCD 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
LCD 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
LCD 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 90) to optimize the picture while viewing these
sources.
