Note to owners of progressive compatible PAL system televisions
If you have an LCD/plasma television or LCD projector
Using progressive output, you can enjoy high-resolution video
recorded on media such as DVD-Video. Connect this unit’s
component video output terminals to your television and turn on the
progressive output setting ( page 12).
If you have a CRT (cathode ray tube) television
Use component output with progressive “Off” (Factory setting,
page 35), even if it is progressive compatible, because
progressive output can cause some flickering. This is the same for
multi system televisions using PAL mode.
