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.

Important

• If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan signal and switch the system to progressive, you will not be able to see any picture at all. In this case, press STANDBY/ON to put the system in standby, select the interlace setting in the System Setup menu options in standby on page 33, then press ENTER.

2Optionally: Use a stereo audio cable to connect the audio outs of your TV (or VCR) to the LINE IN jacks on the rear of this unit. This will enable you to hear the TV (or VCR) sound through this system. See Connecting auxiliary components below for more on this.

Note

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