About copy protection or Macrovision™

Copy protection technology (sometimes referred to as "Macrovision™") is integrated into most DVD players on the market. The Xbox™ video game system also has this technology. Copy protection is designed to prevent the commercial replication of DVD movies. If the Xbox video game system is connected to the TV through a VCR, any correctly encoded DVD will trigger the copy protection.

Copy Protection Issues
When you play a DVD movie on a DVD player (including the Xbox video game system), you may experience the following symptoms because of the copy protection technology:

• The video may be fuzzy, blurry, or distorted.
• The sound may be distorted.

Game play may behave correctly.

To resolve copy protection issues, connect your DVD player directly to your TV (not through your VCR). Macrovision's copy protection technologies are designed to prevent the unauthorized recording of videocassettes, digital Pay-Per-View (PPV) programs, and Digital Video Discs (DVD) on a VCR.

For more information about how to connect your DVD player (or your Xbox video game system) directly to your TV, see the manuals for your Xbox video game system and TV.
