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:
• Connect to a TV equipped with component jacks which support the
progressive video input.
• Turn ON the TV and set it to the corresponding video input mode.
• Press DVD to select the DVD mode. (The DVD indicator will light.)

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.
