To obtain a higher quality picture (When connected to a TV)

Occasionally, some picture noise not usually visible during a normal broadcast may
appear on the TV screen while playing a DVD video disc because the high
resolution pictures on these discs include a lot of information. While the amount of
noise depends on the TV you use with this player, you should generally reduce the
sharpness adjustment on the connected TV when viewing DVD video discs.

About the LCD

• The color LCD is manufactured using extremely high
precision technology, but even so may include
certain pixels that do not operate properly (that do
not light, that remain lit constantly, etc.). We do our
best to keep the number of these defective pixels to
a minimum, but please understand that they cannot
be completely eliminated even with the most
advanced manufacturing technologies available
today.

• The fluorescent tube which illuminates the panel
from the inside will deteriorate with use. (The
standard life length is about 10,000 hours of
continuous use at normal temperature. This is
referential information only and is not warranted.)
When the LCD becomes dim, flickers, or does not
illuminate, contact your dealer for replacement.

• The brightness of the LCD monitor differs slightly
depending on the viewing angles. Adjust the LCD
monitor angle to obtain the best viewing. (The
recommended viewing angle is 90 degrees to the
monitor.)
