xCOMPONENT OUT

This will change the type of signal output from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the player. See page 101 for more information about the different types.

INTERLACE This outputs the signal in interlace format. Select this when you are connected to a standard (interlace format) TV.

PROGRESSIVE This outputs the signal in progressive (525p) format. Select this when you have a TV that can accept progressive signals.

zWhen the player outputs a Progressive video

signal, “PROGRESSIVE” appears in the front panel display.

Notes

•If you select “PROGRESSIVE” when you connect the player to a TV that cannot accept the signal in progressive format (525p), 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. Then set “COMPONENT OUT” to “INTERLACE” when you can see the TV screen correctly, and reset

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT/SCAN SELECT switch to SELECTABLE.

•“PROGRESSIVE” does not work for PAL signals. Even if you set “COMPONENT OUT” to “PROGRESSIVE”, the output signal is automatically switched to interlace format for PAL signals.

“COMPONENT OUT”

You can fine-tune the Progressive (525p) 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 (525p).

xMODE (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. 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. For more information about conversion modes, see “Progressive conversion methods of Film based and Video based software.”
