NOTE 
Connect the Blu-ray disc player to LCD TV 
directly. If you playback the image via VCR, the 
image may deteriorate due to the copy guard 
function.
When you record the program where copyright 
is protected, the copy guard function is activated 
automatically; the program can not be recorded 
correctly. Also, the playback image via VCR may 
deteriorate due to this function. However, this is 
not a malfunction. When you watch the program 
where copyright is protected, we recommend 
that the Blu-ray disc player be connected to LCD 
TV directly.

(HDMI Out) is still possible.
When H-oP is selected, there will be no signal 
from the Component video out.
