*Normally, set the PROGRESSIVE MODE to “AUTO”.

*Some DVD VIDEO discs may not be played back correctly with the “AUTO” mode. If the playback picture is unclear or noisy with a particular DVD VIDEO disc, try to change the mode.

NOTE

•When playing back a film-source DVD VIDEO disc with the “PROGRESSIVE MODE” set to “FILM”, “SMART” or “AUTO” and the progressive scan mode is active, the PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel lights in green. (See page 18.)
