PRV-9000 Operating Instructions
14. Why is the picture so dark and/or distorted during playback?
When a copy-protected disc is played on the recorder but connected to
the television/monitor via a VCR, the picture fails to display correctly.

Verify that your television allows other remote controls to operate the set.
Select the appropriate code for your make of TV. Refer to Chapter 4:
GETTING STARTED, section

protected cannot be recorded. Use a VR formatted disc for copy-once
material.

produce a picture or any sound?
The cable may be loose or disconnected. Check the cable seating.
Disconnect then reconnect the cable to clear any interference.
