* 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.
* Length of DVI
Cable / PC RGB Cable: A too long DVI cable may cause a malfunction or
degradation of the visual quality due to an attenuation of the signal. There is no
recommendation for the cable length at present.
In general, although a cable length of up to 5 meters should work,
please check if video is
* properly
displayed on the screen after connecting. If you think the length of the cable
is longer than for normal use, check the visual quality of the video on the
screen and shorten the length, if necessary.
This also applies to the PC RGB
(D-Sub) cable. When the length of the cable is longer than for normal use,
video may not be displayed on the screen. In this case, shorten the cable length.
* When a
digitally distributed TV user receives HD-rated broadcasts: The digital distributed TV (Ready Technique)
can render HD sources as HD-rated.
* However, you
need to install a set-top box for this purpose. The digital TV alone cannot
render HD broadcasting as HD-rated. Install the formal set-top box for HD
broadcasts.
* When a digital
distributed TV user selects normal size (4:3) to receive SD-rated digital broadcasts: The digitally distributed TV (Ready
Technique) renders any broadcasting service as SD-rated. However, when connected to a set-top box, the
digital TV renders HD broadcasts as HD-rated and renders SD as SD-rated. The
screen size is scaled to 4:3.
* When a
digitally built-in TV user receives SD (air) broadcasting: The digitally integrated TV
("built-in" type) renders SD broadcasting as SD-rated. This can be understood easily. Even a high-resolution TV cannot improve a
low resolution picture into high quality.
In contrast, an SD-rated TV cannot represent HD broadcasting as HD
because the resolution of the TV is lower than the original.
* When selecting a
picture size of 4:3 in connection with a computer or a multimedia device: The representation capability of SD or
HD-rated depend entirely on the TV set. The HD TV can render HD broadcasting as
HD-rated only when it receives HD sources.
In the meantime, the HD TV renders SD as SD-rated when it receives SD
sources. The picture size has nothing to
do with the resolution; TV models like SVP-XXL3HD or SVP-XXL6HD have a size
adjustment feature to 16:9, 4:3, Panorama, Zoom1, Zoom2 and Auto Wide. This is
about the aspect ratio of the top and bottom boundaries to the overall screen
and users can select their preference.
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.
Changing the Order of the Picture
Size for 16:9 Display Devices.
1. When you want to change the
picture size in PIP 'ON', you must turn the PIP off before changing the size. 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 size is changed to Normal. However, you can turn PIP
on without changing the picture size for products with no restrictions.
3. In the OSD notation for the
picture size, 16:9 is represented as "Wide" instead of
"16:9" for devices other than with 16:9 displays. Ex: For LCD 15:9 devices, "Wide" is
displayed on the OSD instead of "16:9".
4. The picture size can be
changed even in the blue screen. However, the picture size should be controlled
by the product specifications if the change is impossible due to hardware restrictions.
