Picture

Symptom	Remedy
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 38).
	• 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 38).
	• 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 37).
	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 61) 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.
