Cause
The image settings on your TV may need adjusting.

Solution
Some TVs have an aperture control sometimes called
PICTURE
. Lowering this setting may
reduce this problem. Reducing your TV’s brightness setting may also improve image quality.
For more information, see your TV manual.

Cause

Solution
To get copies of a copy-protected video, contact the vendor of the video.
