Setting items Options
Progressive Mode*2
Sets the optimum progressive mode
for the image material output from
HDMI OUT jack and VIDEO OUTPUT
(COMPONENT) jacks.
Depending on the video material, image
quality may get degraded due to the
wrong Progressive Mode setting. In such
case, change the setting.
Auto1*:
The progressive mode will be selected automatically depending on the material
type (film or video).
Auto2:
Suited for 30-frame progressive video material such as flash animation created
on PC.
Video:
Suited for 60-frame video material such as TV dramas or TV animations.
Still Mode*3
Adjusts picture resolution and quality
in still mode.
Auto*:
Automatically selects the best resolution setting (“Frame” or “Field”) based on the
data characteristics of the pictures.
Field:
Stabilizes the pictures, although the picture quality may become coarse due to
the limited amount of data. Select “Field” when the pictures are still unstable
even if “Auto” is selected.
Frame:
Displays relatively motionless pictures in higher resolution. “Frame” improves the
picture quality, although it may unstabilize the pictures due to alternate output
of 2-field data.

Select this if the image is not stable with connecting to professional-use display.
