525 line digital progressive-scan
component video output
Compared to standard interlaced video, progres-
sive scan effectively doubles the amount of video
information fed to your TV or monitor. The result
is a stable, flicker-free image. (Check your TV/
monitor for compatibility with this feature.)
For the very highest picture quality, try watching
a movie on DVD-Video on a progressive-scan
compatible TV.

ogy can remember which setting you've
