Selecting Progressive Scan (525p/480p or Interlaced 525i/480i) Playback
¡If your TV is compatible with progressive scanning (525p/480p), connect the TV to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT 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 23 for instructions on changing the Display setting. P.SCAN will appear on the Display of the unit.
¡If your TV is not compatible with progressive scanning, set PROGRESSIVE to OFF (refer to page 23). Make sure that P.SCAN
on the display of the unit lights off.
¡Use a commercially available adaptor if the video input jacks of your TV or monitor is the BNC type.
¡The unit is sending Progressive video signal and HDMI signal simultaneously when HDMI mode is set to ON. If you con-
nected component video cable to your TV, which is not compatible with progressive scan, the distorted picture will be out-
put.
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.
