SOURCE: Dark Blotch on rear projection TV screen
usually these are caused by cleaning the screen with a damp cloth or fkuid rear projection tv's usually have two plastic screens separated by about quarter inch with bulbs between,one being a magnified screen.problem is,condensation can occur causing various blotches,letting the screens naturly dry out usually solves this but failing this you have to strip down and wipe them with clean dry cloth.be careful though the inside screen is very delicate.

If the remote has up/down/left/right arrow buttons, then you can use the arrow keys to readjust the screen. Use the format button to switch betwen auto, widescreen (16:9), letterbox (4:3), and other options. not all formats are available on all channels.
I am assuming your TV is a Philips or Magnavox?
