temporarily when the sensor does not recognize any facial patterns,
or the picture turns off after no movement is detected for a preset

Blurry picture or poor color.
Transporting the TV from a cold to a warm location or a sudden
change in room temperature may cause moisture condensation,
resulting in a blurry picture or poor color. Turn off your TV and wait a
few hours before powering on again.
Wide Mode changes automatically.
When changing the channel or video input, if [4:3 Default] in [Screen]
is not set to [Off], the current [Wide Mode] setting is automatically
replaced with the [4:3 Default] setting. To lock in [Wide Mode]
selected with WIDE on the remote control, set [4:3 Default] to [Off].
Check the [Auto Wide] setting in [Screen].
Suddenly the picture becomes small.
The picture becomes smaller during commercials due to the method
used by a provider to broadcast content. When HD content channels
switch to SD content (commercials), the picture may be small with a
black border.
[Auto Wide] will not expand the picture while the content switches,
since the content information is regulated by the channel signal
provider. You can manually change the [Wide Mode] setting if desired,
which will remain in effect until you change the channel/input or
manually change the [Wide Mode] setting again.
Black box on screen.
A text option is selected although no text is available. To deactivate
this feature, set [CC Display] to [Off]. If you are trying to select closed
captioning, select [CC1] instead of [Text1] - [Text4] (options may not
be available depending on your region/country).
Black bands appear at the edges 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).
Page 96
Your TV will show these programs with black bands at the top and
bottom of the screen. For more details, check the documentation that
96
came with your DVD (or contact your program provider).
Programs in 4:3 aspect ratio will have bands on the left and right
sides of the screen.
Programs broadcasted in HD formats (720p and 1080i) with 4:3
content will commonly have black bands on the left and right sides of
the screen which are added by the broadcaster.
[Auto Wide] will not expand the picture when the black bands on the
sides of the screen are added by the broadcaster. You can manually
set [Wide Mode] to [Wide Zoom] or [Zoom], which will remain in effect
until you change the channel/input or manually change the [Wide
Mode] setting again.
Certain programs on DVD or other digital sources display a
loss of detail, especially during fast-motion or dark scenes.
Less detail than usual or artifacts (small blocks, dots or pixelation)
may appear on the screen, due to the digital compression of the
source content used by certain digital broadcasts and DVDs. The
degree of visible artifacts depends on the clarity and resolution of the
TV.
