Using progressive scan
Not all high-definition televisions are fully compatible with your player
and may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture.
In case of progressive scan picture problems, we recommend that you
switch the connection to the standard definition output. If there are
questions regarding your television’s compatibility with your player,
contact our customer service center.
Use the following check list for troubleshooting when you have
problems with your TV. Consult your local dealer or service outlet if
problems persist.
Make sure that all connections are correctly made.

TV reception problems
Ghosts in the picture Ghosts are caused by the television signal
following two paths. One is the direct path
and the other is reflected by tall buildings,
hills or other large objects. Changing the
direction or position of the antenna may
improve the reception.
Ignition noise Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear,
or the picture may flutter or drift. Usually
caused by interference from automobile
ignition systems, neon lamps, or AC-powered
tools and appliances, such as drills or hair
dryers.
Snow in the picture If the TV is located far from the TV station,
such as in a fringe reception area where the
signal is weak, small dots may appear in the
picture. If the signal is extremely weak, the
installation of a larger external antenna may
be necessary.
Radio frequency
interference (RFI) Caused by two-way radios, this type of

improve the picture.
