Notes

• If the outlines of the images on your screen 

become blurred, set “BNR” and/or “MNR” to 
“Off.”

• Depending on the disc or the scene being played, 

the above BNR, MNR, or FNR effects may be 
hard to discern. And, these functions may not 
work with some screen sizes.

• When using the “Sharpness” function, noise 

found in the title may become more apparent. In 
this case, it is recommended that you use the BNR 
function with the “Sharpness” function. If the 
condition still does not improve, set the 
“Sharpness” level to “Off.”
