TV reception worsens after
connecting the unit.
This can occur because the signals are being divided between the unit and other equipment. It can
be solved by using a signal booster, available from audio-visual suppliers.
The images from the unit do
not appear on the TV.
Picture is distorted.
Make sure that the TV is connected to the VIDEO OUT terminal, S VIDEO OUT terminal,
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals or HDMI AV OUT terminal on the unit.
Make sure that the TV’s input setting (e.g., VIDEO 1) is correct.
The TV isn’t compatible with progressive signals. Press and hold [] and [DVD] on the main unit at
the same time for about 5 seconds. The setting will change to interlace.
When connecting with a component video cable to a television that is incompatible with progressive
video, check if there is also an HDMI cable connected to an amplifier, etc. If so, turn the power off to
the device connected with an HDMI cable, and set the “HDMI Video Output” to “Off” in the Setup
menu.
To output video from a device connected with an HDMI cable, set “HDMI Video Output” to “On” in the
Setup menu.
Picture may not be seen when more than 4 devices are connected with HDMI cables.
Reduce the number of connected devices.

The 4:3 aspect ratio picture
expands left and right.
Screen size is wrong.
Use the TV to change the aspect. If your TV does not have that function, set “Progressive” in the
Video menu to “Off”.
If you connect an HDMI cable, set “HDMI Output Display Aspect” in the Setup menu to “Normal”.
Check the settings for “TV Type”, “4:3 TV Settings for DVD-Video”, or “4:3 TV Settings for DVD-
RAM” in the Setup menu.

There is a lot of after-image
when playing video.
Set “DNR” in the Video menu to “Off”. 40
When playing DVD-Video
using progressive output,
one part of the picture
momentarily appears to be
doubled up.
Set “Progressive” in the Video menu to “Off”. This problem is caused by the editing method or
material used on DVD-Video, but should be corrected if you use interlace output.
When you use the HDMI AV OUT terminal for video output, follow the steps below for setting.
(1) Connect this unit to the TV with any cable except the HDMI cable
(2) Set “HDMI Video Output” in the Setup menu to “Off”

If the sound is distorted when the unit is connected to an amplifier with the HDMI cable, adjust the
settings in “HDMI Connection Speakers Setting” in the Setup menu to match the connection.
