Important

If you switch to Progressive when using a TV that is not compatible with progressive-scan video, you will not be able to see anything displayed on your TV. If this happens, press and hold the + button on the front panel, then press DISC HISTORY. This will set the recorder’s video output back to Interlace.

In case of 525 progressive scan picture problems, it is recommended that the user switch the connection to the ‘standard definition’ output (Interlace). If there are questions regarding our TV set compatibility with this model, please contact our customer service center.

Note

•Many recent PAL TVs are capable of correctly displaying NTSC pictures without the need for this setting. Check the manual that came with your TV if you’re not sure whether yours has this feature.
