Problem Descriptions
A fixed screen can cause
permanent damage to the TV
Braun tube.
Braun, PDP and LCD TVs can all be damaged. When a still image is displayed in a sequence,
this can leave stains or after-images due to the characteristics of the panel.
However, the DLP TV has the advantage that no stains or after-images are left on the screen.
The DLP TV has mirror pixels on the DMD panel that project the beam onto the screen, in
which the mirror is a digital representation of 0s and 1s, leaving no trace of light.
The mirror returns to a blank state so that no stains or after-images are left.
■ SD/HD broadcasts and the TV's display capability are related
1. A digital broadcast should be transmitted in wide screen (an aspect ratio of 16:9) HD. If the broadcasting station converts a
conventional program created in normal screen (aspect ratio of 4:3) into a digital signal and broadcasts the signal, the left and
right of the picture will not be displayed.
This symptom also appears in other manufacturer's TV's. The three appliance companies are trying to resolve the problem
through the Ministry of Information and Communication.
＊ When watching an SD (normal) broadcast through a Digital (Wide) TV (480P normal broadcast)
＊ When watching an SD (normal) broadcast through a Digital Ready (Wide) TV (Using a set-top-box)
＊ When watching an analog (normal) broadcast through a wide TV
(When watching a broadcast after changing the aspect ratio of the TV from 16:9 (wide screen) to 4:3)
2. When watching a DVD title or video tape in wide screen (21:9) through a wide (16:9) TV, watching video from a computer or
game console by selecting the aspect ratio to 4:3, or watching video from a DVD, VCR, computer or game console through a
wide TV by selecting the aspect ratio to normal (4:3) or wide (21:9), the left and right, or top and bottom of the picture will not be
displayed.
This symptom appears in other manufacturer's TV's. The three appliance companies are trying to resolve the problem through
the Ministry of Information and Communication.

However, you can change the main picture size even in PIP ON for products with no restrictions.
2. When the picture size is not Normal (4:3 for 4:3 display devices, 16:9 for 16:9 display devices) and you turn PIP on, the picture
