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 DVD/VCR, you should generally
reduce the sharpness adjustment on your TV when viewing DVD video discs.
