Selecting PROGRESSIVE scan
The progressive scan capability provides the highest resolution pictures with less
flicker and line structure.
If you are using the Component video jacks, but are connecting the DVD/VCR to
a standard (analog) television, set PROGRESSIVE to Off.
If you are using the Component video jacks for connection to a TV or monitor that
is compatible with a progressive scan signal, set PROGRESSIVE to On.

Notes:
• Some discs may not be played back with the progressive
scanning mode correctly because of the disc characteristics
or recording condition.
• If your TV does not accept the progressive scan format, the
picture will appear scrambled if you select progressive scan
output from the unit. In such a case, select PROGRESSIVE
scan Off.
• Once PROGRESSIVE scan On, all other video outputs are
disabled except component video outputs.
• You cannot make the progressive scanning mode active in
following cases.
– The unit is in the VCR mode.
– The disc is played back in the DVD mode.
– The S-VIDEO/COMPONENT video selector switch is set to
S-VIDEO position.
There are two types of source content in pictures recorded in
DVD video discs: film content (pictures recorded from films
at 24 frames per second) and video content (video signals
recorded at 30 frames per second).
When the unit plays back a film source material, uninterlaced
progressive output signals are created using the original
information. When a video content is played back, the unit
interleaves lines between the interlaced lines on each to
create the interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive
signal.
