Notes

•When you connect the player to a monitor or projector via only the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, do not select “OFF.” If you select “OFF” in this case, the picture may not appear.

•When you set NORMAL/PROGRESSIVE switch to PROGRESSIVE, you cannot select “LINE” and “COMPONENT OUT.”

◆MODE (PROGRESSIVE) (conversion modes)

You can fine-tune the Progressive 525p/625p video signal output when you set the NORMAL/PROGRESSIVE switch to PROGRESSIVE (the PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up) and connect the player using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to a TV that is able to accept the video signal in progressive format.

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 mode (50 or 60 frames per second), the progressive video signal needs to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are watching.

AUTO Automatically detects the software type (Film-based or Video-based) and selects the appropriate conversion mode. Normally select this position.

VIDEO Fixes the conversion mode to the mode for Video-based software.

Note

When you play video based software with progressive signals, sections of some types of images may appear unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.
