IMPORTANT NOTE:
Some DVD Discs are encoded with as
much as 30% more video information to
give the viewer the best possible picture
quality. With the DVD Player in the
16:9 picture format, the playback of this
type of disc (containing extra video
information), can produce a number of
small white lines in the upper portion of
the black letterbox area. With some of
these discs, this situation is unavoidable
and it does not require a service call.
