Progressive Mode

DVD software can be divided into two types: film based software and video based software. Video based software is derived from TV and displays images at 25 frames/50 fields (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 (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.

You can fine-tune the progressive 525p/625p video signal that is output when you set “Progressive Output” to “On.”

Note that you must connect to a progressive format TV using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (page 12).
