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

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.
