P.SCAN (Progressive Scan) Function

Unlike regular Interlace Scan, in which two fields of picture information alternate 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.

You can select "Progressive Scan" or "Interlace Scan" for you TV.

Please go to <Setup>➞<Display Setup>➞<Video Output> and set I-SCAN or P-SCAN. (see the page 35.)
