To obtain a higher quality picture
Occasionally, some picture noise not usually visible during a normal broadcast may appear on the TV screen
while playing a DVD video disc because the high resolution pictures on these discs include a lot of
information. While the amount of noise depends on the TV you use with this unit, you should generally reduce
the sharpness adjustment on your TV when viewing DVD video discs.
