Hint

•Connect this unit directly to the TV. If the Audio/Video cables are connected to a VCR, pictures may be distorted due to the copy protection system.

•The COAXIAL, DVD AUDIO OUT, S-VIDEO OUT and COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks are only useful in DVD mode.

If your TV is compatible with 525p (480p) progressive scanning and you want to enjoy that high quality picture;

Set “PROGRESSIVE” to “ON” in the DISPLAY menu, so that the “P.SCAN” on the front panel display appears. Details are on page 21.

If your TV is not compatible with progressive scanning;

Use this unit in interlace mode. Make sure “PROGRESSIVE” is set to “OFF” and P.SCAN light on the front of the unit is off. Progressive scanning mode can be set to off either in the DISPLAY menu or by pressing and holding [PLAY B] on the front of the unit for more than 5 seconds. Details are on page 21.
