determines the progressive conversion method.

When “COMPONENT OUT” in “SCREEN SETUP” is set to “PROGRESSIVE,” the player automatically detects whether the software is video based or film based, and converts the video signals in the corresponding progressive conversion method. When the set point is closer to “VIDEO,” the video based software conversion is more likely to be selected; when closer to “FILM,” the film based conversion is the likely choice. When set specifically to “VIDEO,” the video based software conversion will be always applied regardless of the software type.

See “Glossary” for details about the video based software and film based software (page 86).

PROGRESSIVE 2:

Adjusts the progressive video signals processed under the video based software conversion. Set closer to “STILL” for software containing static pictures such as scenery. Or, set closer to “MOVE” for software containing dynamic moving pictures such as a car chase.

BRIGHTNESS:

zHints

To reset the picture items to the default values, press c after step 4 to select “RESET” in Video Control display 2 and press ENTER.

You can skip the adjustment without saving by pressing X/x in step 2.

Video based software, such as TV drama, animation, and live music software are more adequately processed under the video based conversion. Film based software such as movies are better processed under the film based conversion.

Notes

If the outlines of the images on your screen should become blurred, set “BNR” to “OFF.”

Depending on the disc or the scene being played, the “BNR,” “Y NR,” or “C NR” effect may be hard to discern.

Depending on the disc or the scene being played, noise found in the disc may become more apparent. If this happens, it is recommended that you use the BNR function with the DVE function. If the condition still does not improve, reduce the DVE level, or select “SOFT” (DVD only).
