This system supports the progressive scanning system (480p*) as
well as the conventional interlaced scanning system (480i*).
If your TV equipped with component video jacks supports the
progressive video input, you can enjoy a high quality picture by
activating the progressive scanning mode.
• Refer also to the instruction manuals supplied with your TV.
• If your TV equipped with component video jacks does not support
the progressive video input, do not change the scanning mode to
the progressive scanning mode (P–SCAN MODE.)
* 480p and 480i indicate the number of scanning lines and scanning
format of a video signal.
• 480p indicates 480 scanning lines with progressive format.
• 480i indicates 480 scanning lines with interlaced format.
About scanning system
The conventional scanning method to display video signals on the
TV screen is called “Interlaced scanning.” With this method, only
half of the horizontal lines (called a “field”) are displayed at a time.
So two fields complete a single picture (frame); i.e., the first field,
containing all the odd-numbered lines, is followed by the second
field, containing all the even-numbered lines.
On the other hand, the Progressive scanning system scans all
horizontal lines at a time, so you can double the number of scanning
lines displayed at a time, resulting in a flicker-free, high-density
picture.
To enjoy the progressive scanned picture, a monitor (or TV or
projector) connected to the system must support the progressive
video inputs.
Depending on the material source format, DVD video can be
classified into two types; film source and video source (note that
some DVD video contain both film source and video source). Film
sources are recorded as 24-frame-per-second data, while (NTSC)
video sources are recorded as 30-frame-per-second (60-field-per-
second interlaced).
When this system plays back a film source data, uninterlaced
progressive output signals are created using the original data. When
a video source is played back, the unit interleaves lines between the
interlaced lines to create the pseudo uninterlaced picture and outputs
as the progressive signals.
