Selecting the video output jack and signal format (PROGRESSIVE button)

By using the PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel, you can select the signal format in which the player outputs video signals (Progressive or Interlace).

To see a picture, match the setting/on screen display with the output connection as shown in the table (see page 15 for details on video connection). The PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up when the player outputs progressive signals.

Press and hold the PROGRESSIVE button for more than three seconds during stop mode to change the setting as below sequence. Repeat this step until you see the picture.

About DVD software types and the conversion method

DVD software can be divided into two 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 (25 frames/50 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.

Notes

•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 COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.

•The picture will not appear if your setting is not matched with the output connection you are using. In this case, press and hold the PROGRESSIVE button for more than three seconds. Repeat this step until you see the picture.

•Using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks will cause the picture to go blank. In this case, press the PROGRESSIVE button for more than three seconds. Repeat this step until you see the picture.
