Adjusting DVD player settings
DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)
You can use this setting to help reduce roughness in the on-screen image
and produce a cleaner picture.
Hints
• "DNR2" is more effective for reducing image roughness than "DNR1", but in some
cases an afterimage may appear. If this occurs, select "Off".
• The DNR function may produce limited results on some DVDs.
• When you set "Progressive" to "On", "DNR" is automatically turned off and cannot
be turned on.
Outline Sharpening
You can sharpen or soften the outline of the on-screen image. The higher
the value, the sharper the outline. Normally, select "0".
Hint
Depending on the DVD, Outline Sharpening may produce limited results.
Display
During playback, you can display playback status information in the top
right corner of the screen for a few seconds.
Progressive
You can display an image in which the picture updates all the lines in one
pass. In most cases, this results in a clearer, flicker-free image.
* The DVD player's progressive scan mode is only available when playing a disc
recorded in NTSC format, and viewed on a TV that supports progressive scan
(480p).
Hints
• DVDs can contain video-based and film-based material, which use different frame
rates. When playing video-based material using progressive scan, some images
may appear unnatural. If this occurs, set "Progressive" to "Off" and view in
standard interlace mode.
• When you set "Progressive" to "On", "TV Type" (
page 21) is automatically set
to "16:9".
• DVD-RW disc (VR mode) content can only be viewed in standard interlace format.
The "Progressive" option is not available when playing such content.
