¥Some discs may not be played back with the progressive scan mode correctly because of the disc characteristics or recording condition.

¥There are some progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets that are not fully compatible with the unit, resulting in an unnatural picture when playing back a DVD disc in the progressive scan mode. In such a case, use the interlaced scanning mode.
