About progressive scan video

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

Progressive scan video is available only from the component video output. Use the PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel to switch the component video output between interlace and progressive. With a DVD-Video disc you can do this during playback, or when the disc is stopped. For other types of disc, the player must be stopped.

•If you connect a TV that is not compat- ible 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, press the PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel to swich back to interlace (the PROGRESSIVE indica- tor should be unlit).

•When set to progressive, there is no video output from the VIDEO and S-VIDEOjacks. If you want to display video on more than one monitor simultaneously, make sure that the video output is set to interlace.

•Some TVs display 4:3 material incor- rectly in progressive scan mode. This player has an Auto Progressive setting to correct this problem. See page 53 for more information (DV-656A only).

•You can’t switch the video output when an OSD is on-screen.

•The picture on some TVs may momen- tarily break up when you switch the video output of this player.
