Picture

Symptom

Remedy

There is no picture.

• The SCART (EURO AV) cable is not connected securely.

 

• The SCART (EURO AV) cable is damaged.

 

• The unit is not connected to the correct EURO AV T OUTPUT (TO TV) jack

 

(page 16).

 

• 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 16).

 

• 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 16).

 

• 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 23).

 

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.

 

• If you are using the “DMPORT” function, the video signal is output from the

 

EURO AV T OUTPUT (TO TV) jack only.

 

 

Picture noise appears.

• The disc is dirty or flawed.

 

• If the signal from the EURO AV T OUTPUT (TO TV) jack is distorted,

 

change the type of video signal output from the HDMI OUT jack by setting

 

[HDMI RESOLUTION] in [HDMI SETUP] to [720 × 480p]* (page 23).

 

* Depending on the area, [720 × 480/576p] may appear.
