P.SCAN (Progressive Scan) Function ENG

		If playing a disc, press the STOP (		) button twice so that “STOP”, appears on the display.

		To set P.Scan mode for DivX discs, press the P.SCAN button on the remote control for
		more than 5 seconds with no disc in the unit (“'NO DISC" on the display), then load the
