With certain discs, the playback picture may be flick- ering or Dot Crawl is shown on straight lines. That means Vertical interpolation or De-interlace is not perfectly matched with the disc. In this case, the picture quality may be improved by changing the video mode.

MODE1 → MODE2 → MODE3 → MODE1

If you turn off the power, the video mode will be back to initial state (MODE1).

Detailed Descriptions for Video Modes

MODE1: The source material of the DVD video (film material or video material) is determined from disc information.

MODE2: Suitable for playing film based content or video based material recorded by the progressive scan method.

MODE3: Suitable for playing video based content with compar- atively little motion.

Note

The video mode setting only works when the Progressive Scan mode is set to “On” in the Setup menu.

HDCD Playback

HDCD is a process that increases the fidelity of both specially encoded HDCD discs and standard CD audio discs. When an HDCD-encoded disc is playing, the spe- cial decoder is automatically activated and the HDCD Indicator lights. No user intervention is required.

To enjoy the benefits of HDCD, your DVD Player must be connected to your A/V receiver via the Analog Audio Outputs. However, if your A/V receiver or surround processor is equipped with built-in HDCD decoding, you may also use a Coaxial or Optical digital audio connec- tion so that the HDCD processing is done there.
