Note

If you select “PROGRESSIVE” when you connect the player to a TV that cannot accept the signal in progressive format (480p), the image quality will deteriorate. In this case, set the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT/SCAN SELECT switch on the back panel of the player to INTERLACE. When you can see the TV screen correctly, set “COMPONENT OUT” to “INTERLACE” and reset the

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT/SCAN SELECT switch to SELECTABLE.

When “PROGRESSIVE” is selected in “COMPONENT OUT”

You can fine-tune the Progressive (480p) video signal output when you select “PROGRESSIVE” in “COMPONENT OUT” of the “SCREEN SETUP” display and connect the player to the TV that is able to accept the video signal in progressive format (480p).

◆MODE (Conversion Modes)

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

AUTO

This will automatically detect

 

if you are playing Film based

 

or Video based software and

 

convert the signal to the

 

appropriate conversion mode.

 

Normally select this position.

 

 

VIDEO

This will set the conversion

 

mode for Video based

 

software, regardless of the type

 

of software that you are

 

playing.

 

 

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. Images from the S VIDEO OUT 1/2 and LINE OUT VIDEO 1/2 jacks are unaffected as they are output in the interlace format.
