Progressive scan
The unit supports the progressive
scanning system as well as the con-
ventional interlaced scanning sys-
tem. If your TV is equipped with com-
ponent video input jacks which sup-
port the progressive video input, you
can enjoy high quality picture by
making the progressive scanning
mode active.
Preparation:
• Change the DVD OUTPUT setting to COMPONENT and then con-
nect the unit to a TV that is equipped with component jacks and
supports progressive video input. (See page 25.)
• Turn ON the TV and set it to the corresponding video input mode.
• Press DVD/VCR to select the DVD mode. (The DVD indicator will
light.)

Press PROGRESSIVE in the stop mode. The PROGRESSIVE in-
dicator “ ” on the display window will light.
• The unit recognizes the picture source (film or video) of the cur-
rent disc according to the disc information.

Press PLAY to start playback.
• To make the progressive scanning mode inactive, press PRO-
GRESSIVE in the stop mode. The PROGRESSIVE indicator
“
” on the display window will go off.
Warning:
Once “Progressive” is selected when connecting to a TV progres-
sive scan incompatible, no image will be seen on the video dis-
play.
In this case, you must reset the unit by pressing STOP on the front
panel for five seconds. The video output will be restored to “Inter-
lace” setting, and a picture will once again be seen on a conven-
tional analog display.
Different scanning modes
Interlaced scan
Technology that alternately displays odd-numbered scanning lines
and even-numbered scanning lines. Also called “576i”, “i” meaning
“interlace”.
Progressive scan
Technology that simultaneously displays odd-numbered scanning
lines and even-numbered scanning lines from top to bottom. Also
called “576p”, “p” meaning “progressive”.
NOTES:
• Some discs may not be played back with the progressive scan mode correctly because of the disc characteris-
tics 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.
