• The connecting cords are damaged.
• Check the connection to your TV (page 12) and switch

the input selector on your TV so that the signal from the
player appears on the TV screen.

• The disc is dirty or flawed.
• If the picture output from your player goes through your

VCR to get to your TV or if you are connected to a
combination TV/VIDEO player, the copy-protection
signal applied to some DVD programmes could affect
picture quality. If you still experience problems even
when you connect your player directly to your TV, please
try connecting your player to your TV’s S-VIDEO input
(page 55).

• You have set the player to progressive format (the

PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up in orange) even
though your TV cannot accept the progressive signal. In
this case, set “Progressive” to “Off” (page 62).

• Even if your TV is compatible with progressive format

(480p) signals, the image may be affected when you set
the player to progressive format. In this case, set
“Progressive” to “Off” and the player is set to normal
(interlace) format (page 62).

“Progressive” of the “SCREEN SETUP” menu is not set
correctly while the PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up in
