Progressive Scan (Y Pr/Cr Pb/Cb connection only)

Progressive Scan Video provides the highest quality pictures with less flickering.

If you are using the Component Video jacks, but are connecting the DVD Player to a standard (analog) television, set Progressive Scan to Off.

If you are using the Component Video jacks for connection to a TV or monitor that is compatible with a progressive scan signal, set Progressive Scan to On.

Notes:

Progressive Scan only works when the VIDEO OUTPUT switch on the rear panel is set to COMPONENT/ PROGRESSIVE SCAN.

Progressive Scan only appears in the menu if the VIDEO OUTPUT switch is set to COMPONENT/PROGRESSIVE SCAN.

Make sure the TV’s Sync Mode setting is correct. For example, on some Philips TVs, set “SYNC MODE” to “SYNC MODE 2.” An incorrect Sync Mode setting will cause the picture to shift off-center on the TV screen while using Progressive Scan. Check your TV owner’s manual for details on correct Sync Mode settings.

Caution:

Once the setting for progressive scan output is entered, an image will only be visible on a progressive scan compatible TV or monitor. If you set Progressive Scan to On in error, you must reset the unit. Press STOP to stop any disc that is playing. Next, press STOP again and hold it for five seconds before releasing it.The video output will be restored to the standard setting, and a picture will once again be visible on a conventional analog TV or monitor.
