Notes
• If the outlines of the images on your screen become
blurred, set "BNR" to "Off."
• Depending on the disc or the scene being played, the
above BNR, Y NR, or C NR effects may be hard to
discern. And, these functions may not work with some
screen sizes.
• When playing a disc recorded in SLP recording mode,
the BNR setting may have little effect.
• When using the DVE function, noise found in the disc
may become more apparent. In this case, it is
recommended that you use the BNR function with the
DVE function. If the condition still does not improve,
set the DVE level to "1" or "Off."
