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.

panel (stop) button for about 7 seconds until the display shows MEM.CLR?. Press
the front panel or button so that the display shows INTERL?. Press the front
panel button to set to interlace and switch the system back on.
