Technology that simultaneously displays odd-numbered scanning lines and even-numbered scanning lines from top to bottom. Also called Ò576pÓ, ÒpÓ meaning ÒprogressiveÓ.

NOTES:

¥Some discs may not be played back with the progressive scan mode correctly because of the disc characteris- tics 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.

¥You cannot activate the progressive scan mode in the following cases:

-	The unit is in the VCR mode.
-	A DVD disc is currently playing. You must stop playback first.	45
