Can you turn the TruMotion off to avoid the "Soap Opera Effect" when watching movies?

TruMotion cannot be turned off. However, it is factory set to a low output level, so the effect is minimal.

I believe Yesenia is wrong. I asked a Sales person at Best Buy and after saying "yes", he tried to do it and found that it wasn't an option.

No. You have to press stop to turn off functions prior to their timing off.

As far as I know, no you can't. I have had this camera for a year now and haven't found a way to turn it off

We recommend you test a video game system or Blu-ray player to determine if the problem continues. If it does, please disable the Motion Picture Setting found in the TV's Advanced Picture Setting.

It sounds like you have the AutoMotion Plus 120Hz on all the time. This feature gives movies a "lifelike" feel and takes some definite getting used to. It works best for me when watching a blu-ray disk. I actually feel its annoying when NOT watching anything blu-ray.To turn the 120Hz feature off, go to your TV menu -> Picture -> Scroll to "AutoMotion Plus 120Hz" and set it to "Off". I think you'll enjoy your 1080i picture in a more traditional fashion with this off.

Yes. You will need to select a different setting for the type of movie/show.

Only if you press pause and later hit play. The off switch will force you to have fast forward to findwhere you stopped viewing.

OMG... I've been looking all over for information like this myself. Seems to be an alien concept.I don't want a TV signal in my house, cable or otherwise. But I'd love to watch movies conveniently. If I knew I could disable the tuner source, I'd buy a nice TV in a heartbeat. Conversely, if I knew I could easily hook up a variety of movie sources to, say, an LCD monitor, I'd do that. But I can't find clear info on either configuration.

Sondra, there appears to be no way to defeat the "MUTING" on-screen display. If it is too bothersome you could always turn the volume all the way down. It only takes about three seconds.

No you have to turn it off in the menu. I have read that the lens stabilization is better.

yes, you could turn off the motion detection. There is no need to active it all the time as it will automatically take photoes when vistors press the button.

I am sure the question concerns the motion flow feature, and this can be turned off. All that it does is make the picture movements smoother during fast scene changes. It is always on for normal TV. Info is on page 49 of the manual, under picture settings.

Yes, you can turn it off manually by pressing on the bottom on the unit or on the remote. :)

No, you can't turn off just one word, but it does have multiple filter settings. You can set it to Strict, Moderate or Tolerant. Then you can turn on and off references to sexual words, religious words (for watching religious programming) and hell and damn. So, if you just want the 'big' word filtered, set the TVGuardian to Tolerant and turn off the filtering of sexual, religious, hell and damn words. Thanks, Family Safe Customer Service

S. Grubbs, I'm having the same problem. Turning off Auto Motion Plus doesn't fix the problem. The closest thing to a solution I've found is setting Auto Motion Plus to "Clear." That fixes the problem for some non-HD programming on cable, but for the HD stuff on Netflix, Vudu, etc. (and I'm assuming for DVDs) the problem is still there.This really sucks. The effect is, put simply, NOT WHAT THE FILMMAKERS INTEND. Otherwise they would've shot the movie that way. Screw this new technology.

Sorry, this feature is not defeatable. However, most customer have reported a smooth, blur free picture with a natural, film-like image with little or no "soap opera effect".
