Tip to obtain a higher quality picture

Occasionally, some picture noise not usually visible during a normal broadcast may appear on the TV screen while playing a DVD-Video because the high resolution pictures on these discs include a lot of information. While the amount of noise depends on the TV you use, you should generally adjust the TV to reduce sharpness when viewing DVD-Videos.

CAUTION

Keep your fingers well clear of the disc tray as it is closing. Neglecting to do so may cause serious personal injury.
