DVD video disc provides high resolution pictures and a lot of information. Because of this, you may notice some fine picture noises on TV screen, which you have never seen with regular broadcast TV programme. While the amount of noise depends on the TV you use with the recorder, you should generally reduce the sharpness adjustment on your TV when viewing DVD video discs.
