IMPORTANT NOTE:
Some DVD Discs are encoded with as much
as 30% more video information to give the
viewer the best possible picture quality. With
the DVD Player in the 16:9 picture format,
the playback of this type of disc (containing
extra video information), can produce a num-
ber of small white lines in the upper portion
of the black letterbox area. With some of
these discs, this situation is unavoidable and
it does not require a service call.
