Watching progressive scan video from the component video outputs

This player can output progressive scan video from the component video output. Compared to interlace video, progressive scan video effectively doubles the scanning rate of the picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-free image.

To set up the player for use with a progressive scan TV, see Video Output settings on page 35. When the player is set to output progressive scan video, the PRGSVE indicator lights in the front panel display.

Important

•If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan signal and switch the player to progressive, you will not be able to see any picture at all. In this case, switch everything off and reconnect using the supplied video cable (see Easy connections on page 11), then switch back to Interlace (see below).

Switching the video output to interlace using the front panel controls

Switch the player to standby then, using the front panel controls, press STANDBY/ON

while pressing	to switch the player back to
Interlace.
