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.

•The arrow on the cable connector body should be face down for correct alignment with the connector on the player.

Compatibility of this player with progressive-scan and high-definition TVs.

•This player is compatible with progressive video Macro Vision System Copy Guard.2

You can also adjust the HDMI settings for resolution and color. For more on these settings see Video Output settings on page 29.

Note

1• The component video output is switchable between interlaced and progressive formats. See Video Output settings on page 29.

•While the player is connected using HDMI cable, the component video output cannot be switched between Interlace and Progressive formats. When HDMI Resolution is set to 720x480i (NTSC)/720x576i (PAL), Interlace format is automatically selected, and Progressive format is automatically selected in other settings.

2 Consumers should note that not all high-definition television sets are fully compatible with this product and may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. 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.

3 • An HDMI connection can only be made with DVI-equipped components compatible with both DVI and High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). If you choose to connect to a DVI connector, you will need a separate adaptor (DVIHDMI) to do so. A DVI connection, however, does not support audio signals. Consult your local audio dealer for more information.

•Depending on the component you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal transfers.

•When you change the component connected to the HDMI output, you will also need to change the HDMI settings to match the new component (see Video Output settings on page 29 to do this).
