Sony tv screen format changes when channels are changed

SOURCE: no picture or menu

If your dealer has not already told you, I suggest you unplug the unit from the wall and let it sit for 30-45min. Plug it back in and hope...

SOURCE: Sony 61" lcd has bluish spots in screen, any ideas?

Hello, inside the set there is an optical unit with 3LCD panels. Somehow the dust particles came into your set and now the dust is all over the optical unit and 3LCD panels. Only way to solve this issue is to clean the dust. Please contact your Sony dealer. Best regards, Arpi

Hi Julie,
There are a couple ways to go here. I'll give you the procedures step by step. If you want clarification on anything, just ask. If I make an assumption that is wrong, stop me and let me know. The more you know, the easier this will be for both of us.

First I'd like to double check on MisterSony's diagnosis. Refresh rates that are too high end up as a black screen on many LCD models.

This is my first assumption, the display settings are currently for both monitors. Your original screen is still functioning.

If so,

• Right click on your desktop
• Click Properties
• Click the Settings Tab
• Click the Advanced button
• Click the Adapter Tab
• On the lower part of that tab, there should be Refresh Rate. If it is not at 60 Hz, try to change it to 60 Hz.
• Click OK
• Click Apply
• A pop up may appear asking if you want to keep the changes. Accept the changes.

0000 worked for my XBR4 using the remote called: Comcast Custom DVR 3 Device found here:http://www.comcast.com/corporate/customers/customer_support/remotes.html

SOURCE: can't get picture in wide format on the menu. 16:9 and 4:3 only.

I had the same problem with a 50". The only way I could fix it was to set my Bose system to 4:3 format and the tv to 16:9. Now you can use the zoom to get the right size

good luck
