Tip to obtain a higher quality picture
Occasionally, some picture noise not usually visible during a
normal broadcast may appear on the TV screen while playing a
DVD-Video because the high resolution pictures on these discs
include a lot of information. While the amount of noise depends
on the TV you use, you should generally adjust the TV to reduce
sharpness when viewing DVD-Videos.
