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.
