About DVD software types and the conversion method

DVD software can be divided into 2 types: film based software and video based software. Video based software is derived from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and displays images at 30 frames/60 fields per second. Film based software is derived from film and displays images at 24 frames per second. Some DVD software contains both video and film.

In order for these images to appear natural on your screen when output in progressive format, the progressive signals need to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are watching.

Note

•When you play video based software in progressive signal format, sections of some types of images may appear unnatural due to the conversion process when

output through the VIDEO OUT (COMPONENT) jacks. Even though you set to “PROGRE” (PROGRESSIVE), images from the VIDEO OUT (VIDEO) jack are unaffected as they are output in the interlace format.

To select the type of video signal output from the HDMI OUT (high- definition multimedia interface out) jack

When you connect the control unit and the TV with the HDMI cable, select the type of video signals output from the HDMI OUT (high- definition multimedia interface out) jack.
