Advanced Features
The RDV-1060 provides several advanced features for controlling the audio/video con- tent displayed during playback. These include progressive scan, zooming, changing the scene angle on DVD-Video discs, selecting alternate languages for the audio portion of DVD pro- grams, and selecting subtitle languages on DVD programs. This section of the manual describes these features.
Progressive Scan (NTSC only) 
Images appear on a TV monitor by rapidly displaying a series of horizontal scan lines. The conventional method for displaying these lines is interlaced scanning. Half of the hori- zontal lines are displayed followed by the other half, the two groups visually merging to form a single video image. Interlaced scanning is always used in the PAL video standard and has been the standard for all analog NTSC video in a format referred to as 480i.
HDTV-ready digital TVs are capable of display- ing a larger number of scan lines than offered by standard 480i signals. To take advantage of HDTV monitors, the RDV-1060 offers pro- gressive scanning which uses advanced digital interpolation to combine two frames of stan- dard interlaced video into a 480p signal with 480 lines displayed at one time for a flicker- free, high-density picture.
To enjoy progressive scanned video, your TV monitor must be an NTSC HDTV digital monitor and you must connect the DVD out- put to the TV with Component Video cables to an input that accepts 480p signals.
NOTE: The Progressive Scan feature only works with NTSC HDTV monitors. The feature is only available when the NTSC/PAL switch on the rear-panel is set to the NTSC position. A disc encoded with PAL standard video will always be played with standard interlaced video, regardless of the Progressive Scan feature.
To activate progressive scan, press the P-SCAN button on the remote while playback is stopped. The P-SCAN indicator LED lights on the front panel while in progressive scan mode. To return to normal video output, press the button again.
DVD-Video discs can be classified into two types; film source and video source (Some DVD-Video discs contain both film source and video source material). Film sources are recorded as 24-frame per second information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30-frame per second information. The progressive scan circuitry in the RDV-1060 can be set to recognize film-type material and activate 3:2 reverse pulldown interpolation for the best picture. See the Pic Mode topic in the Setup section of this manual for more information on optimizing progres- sive scanning.
Zoom 
When playing a video disc, the RDV-1060 can zoom in to enlarge a section of the picture to
1.5or 2 times its original size. The zoom feature is available for full-motion video during play- back or for still-frame pictures while the unit is paused. While zoomed, you can move the displayed image up, down, left, or right to view the desired portion of the full image.
To zoom in, press the ZOOM button on the remote. Each press of the ZOOM button changes the size of the picture: 1.5x, 2x, and back to normal size. An icon at the top left of the screen shows the current magnification.
To move the zoomed-in video image,
press the CURSOR 
buttons in the desired direction. The zoomed image moves up, down, left, or right to show the desired portion of the full image.
NOTE: A hand icon on screen indicates that the zoom feature is disabled on the current disc.
Selecting a Scene Angle 
Some DVD-Video discs have scenes that can be viewed from multiple user-selectable cam- era angles. Discs with multiple angles may provide menu screens for angle selection. Alternatively, you can select different angles (if available on the disc) by pressing the ANGLE button on the remote during playback. An icon 
appears on screen indicating which angle is selected and how many angles are available. Pressing the button repeatedly steps through the available angles.
When the Angle Mark feature is turned on in the configuration of the unit, an icon 
appears on screen when alternate angles are available, informing you that multiple angles are available for a scene and that the ANGLE button can be used. See the General Setup topic in the Setup section of this manual for information on the Angle Mark setting.
NOTE: A hand icon on screen indicates that this feature is not available on the current disc.
Selecting Audio Tracks 
Some DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, and Video CD/ SVCD discs have audio tracks recorded in alternate languages, alternate audio formats (such as Dolby Digital 2.0, Dolby Digital 5.1, or DTS) or with alternate content (such as director’s commentary). Typically, you select these audio tracks with the disc’s setup menus which appear when you insert the disc or which can be accessed during playback by press- ing the MENU button.
In addition, you can change to an alternate audio track during playback by pressing the AUDIO button on the remote. The On-Screen Display shows the current audio track descrip- tion and its number along with the total num- ber of available audio tracks. Press the AU- DIO button repeatedly until the desired audio track is selected.
NOTE: If the hand icon appears, alternate lan- guages are not available for the scene.
