If the HDMI OUT jack is used for video
output, changing the “HDMI Resolution”
setting of “Video Output” in the “Video”
setup may solve the problem (page 140).
Connect the TV and the recorder using a
video jack other than the HDMI OUT, and
switch the TV’s input to the connected
video input so that you can see the on-
screen displays. Change the “HDMI
Resolution” setting of “Video Output” in
the “Video” setup, and switch the TV’s
input back to HDMI. If the picture still does
not appear, repeat the steps and try other
options.
,
The recorder is connected to an input device
that is not HDCP compliant (page 19).
,
Depending on the setting combination for
“TV Type” and “4:3 Output,” the edge of
the screen may be hidden or displayed with
black bands, or the left and right sides of the
image may flicker. In this case, change the
settings on your TV, not on this recorder.
Depending on the connected equipment,
the video signals of the selected HDMI
resolution may not be output.
,
When connecting the DVI equipment,
720×480/576p video signals are output
even when an option other than 720×480/
576p is selected.
,
When connecting the DVI equipment and a
PC monitor that is HDCP compliant, only
720×480/576p video signals may be output.
TV programme reception does not fill the
screen.

Set the channel manually in “Programme
Setting” in the “Basic” setup (page 131).

SELECT button, or select a channel of any
TV programme using the PROG +/–

The playback picture or TV programme
from the equipment connected through the

programmes could affect picture quality.
Disconnect the playback equipment in
question and connect it directly to your TV.
The picture does not fill the screen.
