Adjusting the Progressive video signal
(SET PROGRESSIVE OUTPUT)
• AUTO: This will automatically detect if you ar e playing
Film based or V ideo based softwar e and conver t the
signal to the appr opriate mode.
• VIDEO: This will convert the output signal for V ideo
based softwar e, regar dless of the type of softwar e that
you are playing.
Notes
• Some DVD software contains both Video and Film. For
instance, DVDs of movies may contain the movie taken on film,
and a “Making of” sequence taken on video.
• If you select “VIDEO” and play back a DVD that contains Film
based software, sections of images may be unclear.
• When you select “AUTO,” sections of images may become
unclear. This happens when the output signal tag (progressive/
interlace) is not correct on the software. If this happens, set the
conversion mode to “VIDEO.”
x 4:3 OUTPUT
Adjust this when you watch pr ogressive signals on a
standar d 4:3 aspect ratio television. If you can change the
aspect ratio on your pr ogressive for mat (525p) compatible
TV, change the setting on your TV , not the player .
•
FULL: when you can change the aspect ratio on your
TV.
• NORMAL: when you cannot change the aspect ratio on
your TV. A 16:9 aspect ratio signal will be shown with
black bands on left and right sides of the image, and a
4:3 aspect ratio signal will be shown with black bands
on all sides of the image.
You can fine-tune the Pr ogressive (525p) video signal
output when you have selected “PROGRESSIVE” in
“COMPONENT OUT” of the “CUSTOM SETUP” display
and connect the player to the TV that be able to accept the
video signal in pr ogressive for mat (525p).
The default settings ar e underlined.

display.
Notes
•“PROGRESSIVE” does not work for PAL signals. Even if you
set “COMPONENT OUT” to “PROGRESSIVE,” the output
signal is automatically switched to interlace format for PAL
signals.
• If you select “PROGRESSIVE” in spite of you connect the
player to a TV that cannot accept the signal in progressive
format, the image quality will deteriorate. In this case, set
SCAN SELECT switch on the back panel of the player to
“INTERLACE.” Then set “COMPONEMT OUT” to
“INTERLACE” after you can see the TV screen correctly, and
set SCAN SELECT to “SELECTABLE.”
x MODE (Conversion Modes)
DVD softwar e can be divided into two types: film based
softwar e and video based softwar e. Video based softwar e
is derived fr om TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and
displays images at 30 frames/60 fields per second. Film
based softwar e is derived fr om film and displays images
at 24 frames per second. In or der for these images to
appear natural on your scr een when output in
PROGRESSIVE mode (60 frames per second), the
progressive video signal needs to be conver ted to match
the type of softwar e that you ar e watching. For mor e
infor mation about conversion modes, see “Pr ogressive
Conversion methods of Film Based and V ideo Based
Softwar e.”
