Before Requesting Service

Disc picture

Picture distorted.

There is ghosting when progressive output is on.

Picture quality is poor.

Menus not displayed correctly.

≥Some distortion is normal during search.

≥Press [PROGRESSIVE] to turn off progressive output. This problem is caused by the editing method or material used on DVD-Video, but should be corrected if you use interlace output.

≥Check the settings in the On-Screen Menu Icons’ “Picture Menu”.

≥Change the zoom ratio to “k1.00”.

≥Set the subtitle position to 0.

≥With the on-screen menu icon, change “4:3 Aspect” to “Normal”.

Editing

Black bands appear in the recording.

Recording video or audio from external equipment is not possible.

A video was dubbed, but the video is distorted or the colours are abnormal.

The audio level on the DVD section is not corresponding to that on the VHS section after editing.

≥Move the other equipment away from the TV as it may be picking up interference.

≥The connections were done incorrectly. Check the connections to the other equipment.

≥The external input channel “A1” or “A2”, to which the player is connected is not selected.

Press [INPUT SELECT] to select “A1” or “A2”.

≥Copy-protected material was dubbed.

Copy-protected materials cannot be recorded normally.

Most commercially available videotapes and DVD discs (including rental soft tapes/DVDs) are copy-protected so that illegal dubbing is impossible.

≥Some discs may reproduce different audio levels.

If the audio in particular parts, such as speech, is set to a low or high level, it may be recorded on a video cassette at a high or low level, respectively.
