on the player. See page 101 for more
information about the different types.

When the player outputs a Progressive video
signal, PROGRESSIVE appears in the front panel
display.
Notes
If you select PROGRESSIVE when you connect
the player to a TV that cannot accept the signal in
progressive format (525p), the image quality will
deteriorate. In this case, set the COMPONENT
VIDEO OUT/SCAN SELECT switch on the back
panel of the player to INTERLACE. Then set
COMPONENT OUT to INTERLACE when
you can see the TV screen correctly, and reset
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT/SCAN SELECT
switch to SELECTABLE.
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.
You can fine-tune the Progressive (525p)
video signal output when you select
PROGRESSIVE in COMPONENT
OUT of the SCREEN SETUP display and
connect the player to the TV that is able to
accept the video signal in progressive format
(525p).
xMODE (Conversion Modes)
DVD software can be divided into two types:
film based software and video based
software. Video based software is derived
from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and
displays images at 30 frames/60 fields per
second. Film based software is derived from
film and displays images at 24 frames per
second. In order for these images to appear
natural on your screen when output in
PROGRESSIVE mode (60 frames per
second), the progressive video signal needs
to be converted to match the type of DVD
software that you are watching. For more
information about conversion modes, see
Progressive conversion methods of Film
based and Video based software.
