Interlaced scan
Technology that alternately displays odd-numbered
scanning lines and even-numbered scanning lines. Also
called “480i”, “i” meaning “interlace”.
Progressive scan
Technology that simultaneously displays odd-numbered
scanning lines and even-numbered scanning lines from top
to bottom. Also called “480p”, “p” meaning “progressive”.
Note
• The progressive scan mode is only available when
playing a DVD.
• Some discs may not be played back with the
progressive scan mode correctly because of the
disc characteristics or recording condition.
• There are some progressive TV and High-Definition
TV sets that are not fully compatible with the unit,
resulting in an unnatural picture when playing back
a DVD disc in the progressive scan mode. In such a
case, use the interlaced scanning mode.
•You cannot activate the progressive scan mode in
the following cases:
- the unit is in the VCR mode.
- a DVD disc is currently playing. You must stop
playback first.
