Watching progressive scan video from
the component video outputs
Compared to interlace video, progressive scan
video effectively doubles the scanning rate of
the picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-
free image. Progressive scan video is available
only from the component video output. There
are a few things to keep in mind when
switching the Component Out (page 63)
setting to Progressive:
• When set to Progressive, there is no video
output from the VIDEO OUT (composite)
and S (S-video) jacks.
• If you want to display video on more than
one monitor simultaneously, make sure
the player is set to Interlace.
• If you connect a TV that is not compatible
with a progressive scan signal and switch
the setting to Progressive, you will not be
able to see any picture at all. In this case,
press STANDBY/ON to put the system
in standby, then press and hold the front
panel (stop) button for about 8 seconds
until the display shows Mem.Clr.?. Press
the front panel
so that the display shows Interlace?. Press
the front panel
interlace and switch the system back on.
When TV format is set to AUTO or NTSC:
• When set to Progressive, PAL and NTSC
discs are both output as progressive NTSC
video. See also TV format setting on
page 68.
• When set to Progressive, there is no video
output from the VIDEO and S-VIDEO
jacks. If you want to display video on more
than one monitor simultaneously, make
sure that it is set to Interlace. See also TV
format setting on page 68.
When TV format is set to PAL:
• Progressive cannot be selected. See also
TV format setting on page 68.
