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.

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.

2Slowly move the antenna wire around until you find a location where reception is good, then fasten it to a wall or other rigid surface.

Note • This function works only on TVs equipped with component video inputs (Y, Pr, Pb) that support Progressive Video. (It does not work on TVs with conventional component inputs, i.e., non-progressive scan TVs.)

•Depending on the brand and model of your TV, this function may not work.

•This unit only outputs 480i and 480p in progressive scan mode.

Cooling Fan	The cooling fan dissipates the heat generated inside the unit so that the unit can be operated
	normally. The cooling fan is activated automatically to supply cool air to the unit.
	Please observe the following cautions for your safety.
	• Make sure the unit is well-ventilated. If the unit has poor ventilation, the temperature inside the unit could rise
	and may damage it.
	• Do not obstruct the cooling fan or ventilation holes. (If the cooling fan or ventilation holes are covered with a
	newspaper or cloth, heat may build up inside the unit and fire may result.)

• If reception is poor, connect an outdoor antenna.

Before attaching a 75Ω coaxial cable (with a standard type connector), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.
