❏
Sources connected to the AUX, HD/DVD IN 5 and 6, DVI-HDTV IN 7 inputs will display only in the left Twin View window.
There is no Twin View window, or it is just static
❏
Be sure the Twin View window is set to a video input or channel that has a signal airing.
❏
You might be tuned to a video input with nothing connected to it. Try cycling through the video inputs by pressing TV/VIDEO.
Twin View cannot display anything but TV channels
Twin View displays the same program in both windows
❏
Try cycling through the video inputs by pressing TV/VIDEO. Check that the
Video Label option is not set to Skip. (See the Setup Menu on page 74.)

VIDEO
❏ 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).
The compression used by certain digital broadcasts and DVDs may cause your
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 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 Video menu DRC Palette (see page 62)
to optimize the picture while viewing these sources.
❏
Ensure that Video Label is not set to “Skip” (see “Video Lable” on page 74).
