Power

Picture

There is no picture.

,The connecting cords are not connected securely.

,The connecting cords are damaged.

,The receiver is not connected to the correct TV input jack (page 22).

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

,You have set “COMPONENT OUT” in “SCREEN SETUP” to “PROGRESSIVE” even though your TV cannot accept the signal in progressive format. In this case, set the

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT/SCAN SELECT switch on the back panel of the player to INTERLACE. Then set “COMPO- NENT OUT” to “INTERLACE” after you can see the TV screen correctly, and reset the

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT/ SCAN SELECT switch to SELECTABLE.

Picture noise appears.

,The disc is dirty or flawed.

,If the picture output from your receiver goes through your VCR to get to your TV, the copy-protection signal applied to some DVD programs could affect picture quality. If you still experience problems even when you connect your receiver directly to your TV, try connecting your receiver to your TV’s S video input (page 22).

Even though you set the aspect ratio

in “TV TYPE” of “SCREEN SETUP,”

the picture does not fill the screen.
