ENGLISH

Move Return Select Exit

The progressive-scan mode setting menu has two sub-menus: Progressive Mode (progressive scan mode) and DCDi.

Progressive Mode

Within Progressive Mode, there are two settings: Auto* and Video (use the left and right cursor buttons to select these choices). Typically, the Auto setting should be used but in the case of jagged or blurred playback of a DVD, you may want to select the Video option.

DCDi

This is a special technology allowing high-quality images to be produced and you can set this On or Off* when progressive- scan is taking place. Usually, you will not need this switched on, but some material demands the use of this progressive- scan technology, especially if you notice “jaggies” on diagonal lines.

A note on progressive-scan

The video on DVD discs may be either originally shot on video or film. Video material has a frame rate of 30fps (NTSC) while film is at 24 frames per second. In progressive-scan mode, film material is converted to 60 frames per second, and the player adjust the picture match the quality from a cinema screen. As mentioned above, Auto is the usual setting for Progressive Mode, but Video may be used if the picture appears jagged.
