Interlace pictures
Converted progressive pictures
Film based software conversion
Film shows an image by displaying an entire
image at 24 frames per second. When you
watch a film on television, the television
displays every other line of the frame as a
field, thus reducing information level and the
clarity of the film image.
Interlace pictures
This player solves this problem by increasing
the speed at which the frames are displayed,
consecutively showing 3 identical frames
followed by 2 identical frames in the time
that it normally takes to show 2 consecutive
frames. The end result is that the 24 frames
per second are increased to 60 frames per
second, which is the speed at which
Progressive video signals are shown.

frame based format, it also increases the
clarity and sharpness which is unique to

xCOMPONENT OUT
This will change the type of signal output
from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks
on the player. See page 71 for more
information about the different types.
INTERLACE
This outputs the signal in
interlace format. Select this
when you are connected to a
standard (interlace format)
TV.
PROGRESSIVE This outputs the signal in
progressive (480p) format.
Select this when you have a
TV that can accept
progressive signals.
z
When the player outputs a Progressive video
signal, the PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up.
Note
If you select "PROGRESSIVE" when you connect the
player to a TV that cannot accept the signal in
progressive format (480p), the image quality will
deteriorate. In this case, set the 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 VIDEO OUT SCAN SELECT to
SELECTABLE.
When "PROGRESSIVE" is selected in
"COMPONENT OUT"
You can fine-tune the Progressive (480p)
video signal output when you select
"PROGRESSIVE" in "COMPONENT
OUT" of the "CUSTOM SETUP" display
and connect the player to the TV that is able
to accept the video signal in progressive
format (480p).
xMODE (Conversion Modes)
DVD software can be divided into two types:
film based software and video based
software. Video based software is derived

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."
AUTO This will automatically detect if
you are playing Film based or
Video based software and
convert the signal to the
appropriate conversion mode.
Normally select this position.
VIDEO This will set the conversion
mode for Video based software,
regardless of the type of software
that you are playing.
Notes
• Some DVD software contains both Video and Film.
For instance, DVDs of movies may contain the
movie taken on film, and a "Making of" sequence
taken on video.
• When you play video based software with
progressive signals, sections of some types of
images may appear unnatural due to the conversion
process when output through the COMPONENT
VIDEO OUT jacks. Images from the S VIDEO OUT
and LINE OUT (VIDEO) 1/2 jacks are unaffected as
they are output in the interlace format.

Progressive Conversion Methods of
Film Based and Video Based
Software
This player converts video based software
and film based software in the following
manner.
Video based software conversion
Video shows an image by alternately
displaying every other line of an image (field)
at 30 frames (60 fields) per second (Interlace
format).
The Interlace format displays 30 frames (60
fields) per second by displaying every other
line of the image, causing scanning lines to
appear across the image. Furthermore, since
only half of the image is shown at once, the
amount of information contained in an image
is limited.
The Progressive format displays 60 entire
frames per seconds. The player accomplishes
this by converting each field into a frame by
using either a field-based conversion method
or a frame-based conversion method. The
appropriate method is automatically selected
by the player according to the movement of
the images on the screen. If the movement on
the screen is slow, the frame-based
conversion method borrows adjacent field
information to fill in the missing information.
If the movement on the screen is rapid, the
field-based conversion method creates the
missing information by predicting the
movement of the images on the screen from
field to field. The end result is an image that
is higher in quality when compared to the
Interlace format.

xTRACK SELECTION (DVD only)
Gives the sound track which contains the
highest number of channels priority when
you play a DVD on which multiple audio
formats (PCM, DTS, or Dolby Digital
format) are recorded.
OFF
No priority given.
AUTO Priority given.
Notes
• When you set the item to "AUTO," the language
may change. The "TRACK SELECTION" setting
has higher priority than the "AUDIO" settings in
"LANGUAGE SETUP" (page 68).
• If you set "DTS" to "OFF" (page 75), the DTS sound
track is not played even if you set "TRACK
SELECTION" to "AUTO".
• If PCM, DTS, and Dolby Digital sound tracks have
the same number of channels, the player selects
PCM, DTS, and Dolby Digital sound tracks in this
order.
• Depending on the DVD, the audio channel with
priority may be predetermined. In this case, you
cannot give priority to the DTS or Dolby Digital
format by selecting "AUTO."
