Progressive scan
The progressive scan capability provides the highest resolution pictures with less flicker and line structure.
If you are using the Component video sockets, but are connecting the unit to a standard (analog) television, set PROGRESSIVE to Off.
If you are using the Component video sockets for connection to a TV or monitor that is compatible with a progressive scan signal, set PROGRESSIVE to On.
Note: This unit supports the progressive scan only for NTSC DVDs.

2 Press PLAY to start playback.
■To select PROGRESSIVE scan Off

Notes:
•JPEG CDs can not be play back with the progressive scan- ning mode.
•Some discs may not be played back with the progressive scan- ning mode correctly because of the disc characteristics or re- cording condition.
•If your TV does not accept the progressive scan format, the picture will appear scrambled if you select progressive scan output from the unit. In such a case, select PROGRESSIVE scan Off.
There are two types of source content in pictures recorded in DVD video discs: film content (pictures recorded from films at 24 frames per second) and video content (video signals recorded at 30 frames per second).
When the unit plays back a film source material, uninterlaced
progressive output signals are created using the origi- nal information. When a video content is played back, the unit interleaves lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive signal.
