OUTPUT 2” is set to “720to1080” or “NO CONV.”.
• The progressive mode indicator [q] on the front display panel will light up when “ALLto480p” is

can forcibly change the mode to “ALLto480i” by pressing and holding [PAUSE (
W)] on the front
panel for more than 5 seconds during power off mode.
• During DV input, the image format output to the TV will be 480i even if this function is set to
“ALLto480p”. However, the menu setting is retained and changes can be made.
• If you cannot see the pictures on the TV screen when you play back a tape, set “TV OUTPUT 2”
to the appropriate mode.
• This function is invalid if HDMI is activated.
