About progressive scan video

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. Use the
PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel to
switch the component video output between
interlace and progressive. With a DVD-Video
disc you can do this during playback, or when
the disc is stopped. For other types of disc, the
player must be stopped.
• If you connect a TV that is not compatible
with a NTSC or PAL progressive scan
signal and switch the player to
progressive, you will not be able to see any
picture at all. In this case, press the
PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel
to switch back to interlace (the
PROGRESSIVE indicator should be unlit).
• You can't switch video output when an
OSD is on-screen.
• The picture on some TVs may
momentarily break up when you switch
the video output of this player.
