*“1” softens the outlines of the images. “2” enhances the outlines and “3” enhances them more than “2.”

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.”

•Sharp (default): Provides a wide frequency range and spatial feeling.

•Slow: Provides smooth and warm sound. “AV SYNC”: When the video is delayed, this function delays the audio for synchronization with the video (0 to 120 milliseconds). Larger numbers indicate a longer audio delay for synchronization with the video. When dubbing to a VCR or other video recording equipment, be sure to return this setting to 0 ms (default).
