Changing the Scanning Mode Activating the Recording Mode

English

This unit supports the progressive scanning system (480p*) as well as the conventional interlaced scanning system (480i*).

If your TV has component video jacks and supports progressive video input, you can enjoy a high quality picture from the built-in DVD player.

•Refer also to the instruction manuals supplied with your TV.

•You cannot change the scanning mode when “PAL” is selected as the color system of this unit. See page 8.

•You can select the picture source according to the original picture type (film or video source). See “PICTURE SOURCE” on page 55.

•Do not change the scanning mode to “PROGRESSIVE” in the following cases:

–When your TV does not support the progressive video input.

–When you are not connecting your TV to the unit using a component video cord.

From the remote control ONLY

Press PROGRESSIVE when “DVD” is selected as the source.

•Each time you press the button, the scanning mode changes between “INTERLACE” and “PROGRESSIVE.”

INTERLACE Select for conventional TV (initial setting).

PROGRESSIVE Select if your TV with component jacks supports the progressive video input. The PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up.

Notes:

•Some progressive TVs and High-Definition TVs are not fully compatible with this system. When an incompatible picture is played back, change the scanning mode to “INTERLACE.” To check the compatibility of your TV, contact your dealer.

All JVC progressive TVs and High-Definition TVs are fully compatible with this system.

•When you select “PROGRESSIVE” as the scanning mode, the

picture does not come out correctly through composite video and S-video jacks.

*480p and 480i indicate the number of scanning lines and scanning format of an image signal.

–480p indicates 480 scanning lines with progressive format.

–480i indicates 480 scanning lines with interlaced format.

When you play back the multi-channel sources, Recording mode enables you to record the sounds without missing surround elements by down-mixing the center and surround channel signals into the front channel signals.

•When multi-channel software is played back with Recording mode activated, the sounds are down-mixed and come out through the front speakers only.

•For DVD AUDIO ONLY: When down-mixing is prohibited on the disc, this function does not take effect.

On the front panel ONLY

Press and hold REC MODE (SURROUND MODE) until “RECMODE ON” appears on the display.

The REC indicator lights up on the display.
