Notes
• If the outlines of the images on your screen become
blurred, set "BNR" and/or "MNR" to "Off."
• Depending on the disc or the scene being played, the
above BNR, MNR, or FNR effects may be hard to
discern. And, these functions may not work with some
screen sizes.
• When using the "Sharpness" function, noise found in
the title may become more apparent. In this case, it is
recommended that you use the BNR function with the
"Sharpness" function. If the condition still does not
improve, set the "Sharpness" level to "Off."
