Progressive

Use this setting with TVs and monitors that have progressive scan component video inputs. The PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up. Check the TV’s instruction manual if you are not sure about this.

PROGRESSIVE

Auto Progressive

Switches to progressive scan when 16:9 DVDs are played,4:3 DVDs uses interlace setting. Your TV/ monitor must be compatible with progressive scan to use this setting.

Tip

If this player is set to output progressive-scan video, it’s possible that the picture will appear stretched when playing discs recorded in 4:3 format. This happens when the TV’s aspect ratio is set at 16:9. To see the picture in its correct aspect ratio, change the TV setting to 4:3.

If your TV can not be switched between 4:3 and 16:9, set this player to [Interlace] or [Auto Progressive]. In Auto progressive mode, 4:3 discs will be played in Interlace mode, while discs that are recorded in both 4:3 and 16:9 will play in interlace mode during the 4:3 sections, and in progressive mode during the 16:9 parts. Switch your TV’s aspect ratio to the most suitable setting (for more details, see the manual that came with your TV). When set to [Auto Progressive], you may see picture disturbance when this player (and the TV) switches between progressive and interlace modes. This is not a malfunction of either this player or the TV. Picture disturbance should only occur when switching from a menu screen to the main feature, for example.

Note

If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan signal and choose one of the progressive scan settings, you will not be able to see any picture at all. With your TV connected using either the composite or S-Video terminals, choose the [Interlace] setting in the [Component Video] menu.

■Switching the S-Video Output Expert

You can Switch the kind of S-Video signal output from the S- Video outputs. If you connected your TV with an S-Video cord, in rare cases the TV picture may appear stretched. In this case switch the output from [S2] to [S1].

Make changes in the [S-Video Out] in the Setup screen Video 1 menu in the [Expert] menu mode (page 39).

■Turning the Screen Saver On and Off Expert

As a protective function against residual images on the TV screen or monitor, a phenomenon referred to as “screen burn”, the screen saver appears when the same screen has been displayed for a length of time. By default, the screen saver is turned on. However, the screen saver function can be turned on and off at your discretion.

Make changes to the [Screen Saver] setting in the Setup screen Video 1 menu in the [Expert] menu mode (page 39).
