Interlace:

Select this option when the television or projector does not sup- port progressive inputs (factory default setting).

Progressive:

This mode produces finely detailed, high-definition images and should be selected when using a television or projector that sup- ports progressive inputs.

¶Do not select [Progressive] when the television connected does not support progressive inputs, since no image will be output. If this option is selected by mistake, trying connecting the video cable to another video connector, then change the setting.

■Compatibility of this unit with progressive scan

televisions

At present, certain progressive-scan televisions do not have complete compatibility with this player, with the result that visual distortion may be produced. If you notice distortion during progressive playback, try changing the player’s output to [Interlace]. For more information regarding compatibility of progressive-scan televisions with this player, consult your Pioneer dealer, or Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. Customer Support Division listed at the end of this manual.

Select S-Video output (Expert Mode)

Set this option to select the video signal output from the S-Video connector.

¶When the S-Video connector is used to connect the player to a television set, the image may appear vertically compressed (or stretched horizontally). In this case, select [S1].

Video quality adjust

S1 Video Output:

S1 is S-Video with added signal for discrimination of aspect ratio (4:3, 16:9).

S2 Video Output:

S2 is the S1 signal with the addition of another signal for dis- crimination of the picture viewing format (letter box, pan and scan). When played on a wide television supporting S2, the appropriate picture mode will be selected automatically.

The video quality can be set to provide optimum reproduction of specific types of image (movies, animation, etc.). Further, each of the video image quality options can be set individually, and each setting can be recorded in memory. If playback is performed while displaying the initial setup menu, the picture quality can be adjusted while viewing the actual television image.

To select a preset picture quality
