There is no picture.

• The video connecting cords are not connected securely.

 

• The video connecting cords are damaged.

 

• The unit is not connected to the correct TV input jack (page 26).

 

• The video input on the TV is not set so that you can view pictures from the

 

system.

 

• Check the output method on your system (page 26).

 

• You have set progressive format but your TV cannot accept the signal in

 

progressive format. In this case, return the setting to interlace format (the

 

default setting) (page 35).

 

• Even if your TV is compatible with progressive format (525p/625p) signals, the

 

image may be affected when you set progressive format. In this case, return the

 

setting to interlace format (the default setting) (page 35).

 

• Re-connect the connecting cord securely.

 

• The unit is connected to an input device that is not HDCP (High-bandwidth

 

Digital Content Protection) compliant (“HDMI” on the front panel does not

 

light up) (page 26).

 

• If the HDMI OUT jack is used for video output, change the type of video signal

 

output from the HDMI OUT jack. It may solve the problem (page 35).

 

Connect the TV and the unit using a video jack other than the HDMI OUT, and

 

switch the TV’s input to the connected video input so that you can see the on-

 

screen displays. Change the type of video signal output from the HDMI OUT

 

jack, and switch the TV’s input back to HDMI. If the picture still does not

 

appear, repeat the Steps and try other options.

 

• You have set [PROGRESSIVE (COMPONENT OUT)] in [VIDEO SETUP] to

 

[ON] (page 60) even though your TV cannot accept the progressive signal. In

 

this case, disconnect the HDMI cable from the unit and then set it to [OFF].

 

• If you are using the “DMPORT” function, the video signal is output from the

 

VIDEO OUT jack only.

 

 

Picture noise appears.

• The disc is dirty or flawed.

 

• If the picture output from your system goes through your VCR to get to your

 

TV, the copy-protection signal applied to some DVD programs could affect

 

picture quality. If you experience problems when you connect your unit through

 

your VCR, try connecting your unit to your TV’s video input directly (page 26).

TV screen.

When color irregularity occurs on the TV screen, check the following items.

 

• If the speakers are used with a CRT-based TV or projector, install the speakers

 

at least 0.3 meters (1.0 ft) from the TV set.

 

• If the color irregularity persists, turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15

 

to 30 minutes.

 

• If howling occurs, reposition the speakers farther away from the TV set.

 

• Make sure that no magnetic object (magnetic latch on a TV stand, health care

 

device, toy, etc.) is placed near the speakers.
