Note
•
DVD video discs provide high resolution pictures and a lot of information.
Because of this, you may notice some fine picture noises on TV screen,
which you have never seen with regular broadcast TV program. While the
amount of noise depends on the TV you use with the recorder, you should
generally reduce the sharpness adjustment on your TV when viewing DVD
video discs.

instructions appear on the TV screen, follow those instructions.
• If you display the top menu during playback and press TOP MENU button again without selecting any title, the recorder may
resume playback from the point where you first pressed TOP MENU button. (depending on the actual DVD video disc.)
