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

making the progressive scanning
mode active.

progressive video input.

Press and hold PROGRESSIVE for more than 2 seconds in the
stop mode. The PROGRESSIVE indicator “
on the display win-
dow will light.
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 when the unit is in the VCR mode.
The unit recognizes the picture source (film or video) of the cur-
rent disc according to the disc information.
Progressive scanning not only works for DVD playback, but also
video signals from the VCR, built-in tuner and external input ter-
minals.
To make the progressive scanning mode inactive, press and hold
PROGRESSIVE for more than 2 seconds in the stop mode. The
PROGRESSIVE indicator “
on the display window will go
off.
