What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning?

P.SCAN(Progressive Scan) Function

Unlike a regular Interlace Scan in which two fields of picture information are alternated to create the entire picture (odd scan lines, then even scan lines), Progressive Scan uses one field of information (all lines displayed in one pass) to create a clear and detailed picture without visible scan lines.

While the player is in the Stop mode, hold the P.SCAN button down for longer than 1 second.

•The selection switches back and forth between "P.SCAN" and "I.SCAN" each time the button is held down for a minimum of 1 second.

•The previous mode is indicated in the display first, followed by the selected mode in about a second.
