I am using the D 200 with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter and the image is scrambled or is not visible at all.

Many earlier model TVs with DVI inputs will not operate with the D 200’s HDMI output because they are not HDCP-compliant (digital copyright protection). Review your TV’s owner’s manual or contact your dealer if you are not sure if your TV is HDCP-compliant.
