  If there's no image on your TV screen when using your Grundig DVD Recorder, ensure the TV is connected to the correct AUDIO/VIDEO, SCART, S-VIDEO, or COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the recorder. Verify that the input setting on your TV is correct. Also, make sure the disc is properly placed in the tray and is compatible with your TV system (NTSC or PAL). If the recorder is set to ‘progressive mode’ with an incompatible TV, reset it by pressing 4 (direction button), ‘5’, ‘0’, ‘2’, ‘0’, ENTER on the remote control.

  To address image noise on your Grundig DVD Recorder, first check if the disc is distorted or scratched. If the video output signal goes through a VCR to your TV, or if connected to a TV/VIDEO combination, copyright protection on some DVDs may affect picture quality. If the problem persists when connected directly to the TV, try using the TV’s S-VIDEO output.
