For DVD+RW/R, only discs recorded in the Video mode can be played back.
• Some DVD-RW/R, DVD+RW/R, or CD-RW/R discs made on personal computers, or on DVD recorders may not be played back prop-
erly due to the factors such as scratches, dirt or special properties of the disc.
• Discs made on personal computers may not be played back properly due to the different environment or the settings of the application you
use. We recommend always to use the standardized, correctly formatted discs. (Please contact the sales agency for more detail).
Selecting 525p (480p) Progressive Scan or 525i (480i) Interlaced Playback
• If your TV is compatible with 525p (480p) progressive scanning, connect the TV to the Component Video Output jacks of
the DVD player and set “PROGRESSIVE” to “ON” in the display setting. Next, set your TV to the progressive scan mode.
Refer to page 16 for instructions on changing the display setting.
• If your TV is not compatible with progressive scan, set “PROGRESSIVE” to “OFF”.
• Use a commercially available adaptor if the video input jacks of your TVs or monitors are the BNC type.
What is Progressive Scanning?
• Unlike conventional interlace scanning, the progressive scan system provides less flickering and images in higher resolution
than that of traditional 525i (480i) television signals.
