Watching progressive scan video from the component video outputs

This player can output progressive scan video from the component video output. Compared to interlace video, progressive scan video effectively doubles the scanning rate of the picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-free image.

To set up the player for use with a progressive scan TV, see Video Output settings on page 31. When the player is set to output progressive scan video, the PRGSVE indicator lights in the front panel display.

Important

•When Component Out (page 31) is set to Progressive, there is no video output from the VIDEO OUT (composite) and S (S- video) jacks.

•If you want to display video on more than one monitor simultaneously, make sure the player is set to Interlace.

•If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan signal and switch the player to progressive, you will not be able to see any picture at all. In this case, switch everything off and reconnect using the supplied video cable (see Easy connections on page 9), then switch back to Interlace (see below).
