If your TV is compatible with progressive-scan
component video, set this Progressive for the highest
quality picture. If your TV is not compatible with
progressive-scan video, leave it set to Interlace.
See also Progressive scan video in the glossary on
page 121.
Important
If you switch to Progressive when using a TV that is not
compatible with progressive-scan video, you will not be
able to see anything displayed on your TV. If this happens,
press and hold the + button on the front panel, then press
HDD. This will set the recorder's video output back to
Interlace.
Compatibility of this unit with progressive-scan TVs
Consumers should note that not all high-definition television sets
are fully compatible with this product and may cause artifacts to
be displayed in the picture. In case of 525 progressive scan
picture problems, it is recommended that the user switch the
connection to the 'standard definition' output (Interlace). If there
are questions regarding our TV set compatibility with this model,
please contact our customer service center.
