Picture

Symptom

Remedy

There is no picture.

• The video connecting cords are not connected securely.

• The video connecting cords are damaged.

• The unit is not connected to the correct TV input jack (page 26).

• 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 26).

• You have set progressive format but your TV cannot accept the signal in

progressive format. In this case, return the setting to interlace format (the

default setting) (page 35).

• Even if your TV is compatible with progressive format (525p/625p) signals, the

image may be affected when you set progressive format. In this case, return the

setting to interlace format (the default setting) (page 35).

• 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 26).

• 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 35).

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.

• You have set [PROGRESSIVE (COMPONENT OUT)] in [VIDEO SETUP] to

[ON] (page 60) even though your TV cannot accept the progressive signal. In

this case, disconnect the HDMI cable from the unit and then set it to [OFF].

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

VIDEO OUT jack only.

Picture noise appears.

• The disc is dirty or flawed.

• If the picture output from your system goes through your VCR to get to your

TV, the copy-protection signal applied to some DVD programs could affect

picture quality. If you experience problems when you connect your unit through

your VCR, try connecting your unit to your TV’s video input directly (page 26).

Even though you set the aspect

ratio in [TV TYPE] of [VIDEO

SETUP], the picture does not fill

the TV screen.

• The aspect ratio on the disc is fixed.

Color irregularity occurs on the

TV screen.

The system’s speakers contain magnet parts, so magnetic distortion may occur.

When color irregularity occurs on the TV screen, check the following items.

• If the speakers are used with a CRT-based TV or projector, install the speakers

at least 0.3 meters (1.0 ft) from the TV set.

• If the color irregularity persists, turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15

to 30 minutes.

• If howling occurs, reposition the speakers farther away from the TV set.

• Make sure that no magnetic object (magnetic latch on a TV stand, health care

device, toy, etc.) is placed near the speakers.
