What should I do if I do not see proper images or videos?
Do not change the display resolution or colors while using video/image software or playing DVDs, as it may cause
unsuccessful playback/display or unstable system operations.
Additionally, it is recommended you disable your screen saver before starting DVD playback. If the screen saver is enabled,
it may be activated during DVD playback and prevent the playback from running successfully. Some screen savers have been
found to even change the display resolution and colors.
