connections.
¶ For better sound reproduction, connect the player’s audio
out jacks to the audio in jacks of your amplifier, receiver,
stereo or audio/video equipment. See ‘Connecting to
optional equipment.’

¶ If your television is a high-definition or “digital ready”
television, you may take advantage of the DVD Player’s
progressive scan output for the highest video resolution
possible.
¶ If your TV does not accept the Progressive Scan format, the
picture will appear scrambled if you try Progressive Scan on
the DVD Player.
¶ Make sure the TV’s Sync Mode setting is correct. For
example, on some Philips TVs, set “SYNC MODE” to
“SYNC MODE 2.” An incorrect Sync Mode setting will
cause the picture to shift off-center on the TV screen while
using Progressive Scan. Check your TV owner’s manual for
details on correct Sync Mode settings.
