bNotes

•If the outlines of the images on your screen become blurred, set “BNR” and/or “MNR” to “Off.”

•Depending on the disc or the scene being played, the above BNR, MNR, Y NR, or C NR effects may be hard to discern. And, these functions may not work with some screen sizes.

•When using the DVE function, noise found in the title may become more apparent. In this case, it is recommended that you use the BNR function with the DVE function. If the condition still does not improve, set the DVE level to “1” or “Off.”
