P.SCAN

(Progressive Scan) 

Function

While the player is in the stop mode, hold the P.SCAN
button down for longer than 1 second.

• 

The selection switches back and forth between "

P.SCAN

" and "

I.SCAN

"

each time the button is held down for a minimum of 1 second. 

• 

The previous mode is indicated in the display first, followed by the
selected mode in about a second. 

Press the 

Setup/

P .Adj button. (Play mode only)

• 

Each time the

Setup/

P .Adj button is pressed, the following appears on the TV screen: 

In interlaced-scan video, a frame consists of two
interlaced fields (odd and even), where each field
contains every other horizontal line in the frame. 
The old field of alternating lines is displayed first, and
then the even field is displayed to fill in the alternating
gaps left by the odd field to form a single frame. 
One frame, displayed every 1/30th of a second, contains
two interfaced fields, thus a total of 60 fields are
displayed every 1/60th of a second each.
The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing
a still object. 

Interlaced Scan (1 FRAME = 2 FIELDS)

The progressive scanning method scans one full frame of
video consecutively down the screen, line by line.
As opposed to the interlaced scanning process by which a
video image is drawn in a series of passes, you get an
entire image drawn at one time.
The progressive scanning method is desirable for dealing
with moving objects. A camera that has the ability to
capture moving objects is called a "full frame shutter
camera".

Progressive Scan (FULL FRAME)

What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning?

• 

This function only works with TV's equipped with component video inputs (Y, P

b

Depending on the brand and model of your TV, this function may not work.

P.Scan Adj (Progressive Scan Adjusting)

This function allows you to optimize the picture quality when it becomes poor due to screen distortion or
discs containing erroneous data.
