Progressive Scan ( Y PR/CR PB/CB) connection

¶If your television is a high-definition or “digital ready” television, you may take advantage of the DVD Player’s progressive scan output for the highest video resolution possible.

¶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.
