Remedy
• The video connecting cords are not connected securely.
• The video connecting cords are damaged.
• The system is not connected to the correct TV input jack (page 20).
• The video input on the TV is not set so that you can view pictures from the
system.
• Check the output method on your system (page 20).
• Re-connect the connecting cord securely.
• The system is connected to an input device that is not HDCP (High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection) compliant ("HDMI" on the front panel does not
light up) (page 20).
• When playing a double-layer DVD, the video and audio may be momentarily
interrupted at the point where the layers switch.
• Press and hold N and Z on the control unit for more than 5 seconds to reset
the video output resolution to the lowest resolution.
• Set [Output Video Format] to [Component Video] (page 69).
• Set [Picture Quality Mode] to [Standard] (default) (page 41).
• Check the [Output Video Format] settings (page 69).
• The disc is dirty or flawed.
• If the picture output from your system goes through your VCR to get to your
TV, the copy-protection signal applied to some BD/DVD programs could affect
picture quality. If you still experience problems even when you connect your
system directly to your TV, try connecting your system to the other input jacks.
• The aspect ratio on the disc is fixed.
• If the speakers are used with a CRT-based TV or projector, install the speakers
at least 0.3 meters from the TV set.
• If the color irregularity persists, turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15
to 30 minutes.
• If howling occurs, reposition the speakers farther away from the TV set.
• Make sure that no magnetic object (magnetic latch on a TV stand, health care
device, toy, etc.) is placed near the speakers.
