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.
N Conversion Modes
DVD software can be divided into two types: film based software and video based software.
Video based software is derived from the TV, such as dramas and sit-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.
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.
Press PROGRESSIVE repeatedly to turn or change the displays as follows:
* Appears as NORMAL, P AUTO, P VIDEO, or P FILM on the front panel display
• NORMAL (INTERLACE)
Select this when you are connected to a standard (Interlace format) TV.
• PROGRESSIVE AUTO
Select this when you are connected to a progressive TV. 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 when you are connected to a progressive TV.
• PROGRESSIVE VIDEO
Select this when you are connected to a progressive TV. This will set the conversion mode for
Video based software, regardless of the type of software that you are playing.
• PROGRESSIVE FILM
Select this when you are connected to a progressive TV. This will set the conversion mode for
Film based software, regardless of the type of software that you are playing.
Notes
• When you select PROGRESSIVE FILM, the progressive format images may become unclear or unnatural.
If this happens, select PROGRESSIVE 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) jacks are unaffected as they are output in the
normal (interlace) format.
