Connecting to a progressive scan- compatible TV

Compared to a standard interlaced TV picture, a progressive scan TV is capable of stable, flicker-free images.

Set only if you connected the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to a progressive scan-compatible TV or monitor.

When making component video connections, make sure to set the VIDEO OUT SELECT switch on the rear panel of the player to the right to assign component video output (page 17).

When a progressive-scan video signal is output, the “PROGRESSIVE” indicator lights in the display.

Make changes to the [Component Video] setting in the Setup screen Video menu.

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 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. If you accidently do this, set the VIDEO OUT SELECT switch on the rear panel to COMPOSITE & S- VIDEO. With your TV connected using either the composite or S-Video terminals, choose the [Interlace] setting in the [Component Video] menu, then set the rear panel switch back to COMPONENT.
