VIERA Link doesn’t work

Check the HDMI cable connection. Check that “HDMI” is displayed
on the front display when the power for the main unit is set to “On”.
Make sure that “VIERA Link” is set to “On”.
Check the “HDAVI Control” settings on the connected device.
If the connection for the equipment connected with an HDMI
cable was changed, or if there was a power failure or the plug was
removed from the power outlet, “HDAVI Control” may not work. In
this case, perform the following operations.
1. When all equipment connected with the HDMI cable is turned on,

turn the TV (VIERA) on again.

2. Change the TV (VIERA) settings for the “HDAVI Control” function

to off, and then set to on again. (For more information, see the
VIERA operating instructions.)

3. Switch the VIERA input to HDMI connection with this unit, and after

this unit’s screen is displayed check that “HDAVI Control” is working.

Playback Issues

TV reception worsens after
connecting the unit.

This can occur because the signals are being divided between the
unit and other equipment. It can be solved by using a signal booster,
available from electronics retailers.

The images from the unit do
not appear on the TV.
Picture is distorted.

Make sure recorder is connected to an appropriate AV input of the TV.

8 to 10

Make sure the TV’s input setting (e.g., VIDEO 1) is correct.

The TV isn’t compatible with progressive signals. Press and hold [g]
and [q] on the main unit for about 5 seconds. The setting will change
to interlace.
When connecting with component video cables to a television that
is incompatible with progressive video, check if there is also an
HDMI cable connected to an amplifier. If so, turn off the equipment
connected with an HDMI cable and set the “HDMI Priority” to “Off” in
the Setup menu.
To output video from a device connected with an HDMI cable, set
“HDMI Priority” to “On” in the Setup menu.
Picture may not be seen when more than 4 devices are connected
with HDMI cables. Reduce the number of connected devices.

The 4:3 aspect ratio picture
expands left and right.
Screen size is wrong.

Check the settings for “TV Aspect”, “4:3 TV settings for DVD-Video”,
or “4:3 TV settings for DVD-RAM” in the Setup menu.

There is a lot of after-images
when playing video.

Set “DNR” in the Video menu to “Off”.

43

When playing DVD-Video

using progressive output, one

part of the picture momentarily

appears to be doubled up.

This problem is caused by the editing method or material used on

DVD-Video, but should be corrected if you use interlaced output.

When you use the HDMI AV OUT terminal for video output, follow

the steps below:

(1) Connect this unit to the TV with any cable except the HDMI cable.

(2) Set “HDMI Priority” in the Setup menu to “Off” (

➔ 54).

(3) Set “Component Output Signal” in the Setup menu to “480i” (

➔ 54).

There is no apparent change

in picture quality when making

adjustments in the Video menu

using the on-screen menus.

The effect cannot be seen with certain types of video.

Playback images of DVD-Video

are not smooth.

When you set “Progressive/24p” to “24p”, images of DVD-Video

incompatible with 24p may not be played smoothly. Set “Auto1” or “Auto2”.
