Using the PROGRESSIVE button
You can fine-tune the Progressive 480p video signal output when you press PROGRESSIVE on
the front panel (the PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up in blue) and connect the player using the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to a TV that is able to accept the video signal in progressive
format.
• Conversion Modes
DVD software can be divided into two types: film based software and video based sofiware.
Video based sofiware is derived from the TV, such as dramas and sil-coms, and displays images
at 30 frames/60 fields per second. Film based software is derived from film and displays images
at 24 frames per second. Some DVD software contains both Video and Film.
tn order for these images to appear natural on your screen when output in PROGRESSIVE mode
(60 frames per second), 1he progressive video signal needs to be converted to match the type of
DVD sofiware that you are watching.
Press PROGRESSIVE repeatedly to turn or change the displays as follows:
NO_MAL (INTERLACE)*
PROGRESSIVE AUTO*
