PureCinema

There are two types of video signals: Video interlace material, with a frame rate of 25 (PAL) or 30 frames/second; and film progressive material, that has a frame rate of 24 or 25 (PAL) frames/second.

In PureCinema mode film progressive material is converted to 50 or 60 frames/second progressive , which matches more closely the picture quality of a cinema screen. (24 frames/second source is converted to 60 frames/second.)

When you have Video Adjust set to Standard, Cinema, or Memory 1, Memory 2 or Memory 3 and play a BD-ROM or DVD disc video that can be identified as film progressive or video interlace material, PureCinema mode is automatically activated.

Additionally, certain PAL movie discs (25 frames/second BD-ROM or DVD discs) that contain film progressive material cannot be recognized as such by this unit. In such instances, if you choose Cinema from the Video Adjust menu, PureCinema mode is activated.

PureCinema mode can be automatically activated if you choose Cinema from the Video Adjust menu, have the input line system set to PAL (50 Hz), and have the output video resolution set to anything other than 576i or 1080i.

If you notice problems with the images projected when set to Cinema (images appear to motion-blurred, or jagged), set the Video Adjust to Standard or Memory 1, Memory 2 or Memory 3.
