This setting is effective only when you set “TV Type” of “Video Output” to “16 : 9” in the “Video” setup.

Adjust this setting to watch 4:3 aspect ratio signals. If you can change the aspect ratio on your TV, change the setting on your TV, not this recorder.

•When you set “Line1 Output” of “Scart Setting” to “RGB,” you cannot set “Component Out” to “On.”

•When you connect the recorder 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.

Progressive Output

If your TV accepts progressive (525p/625p) format signals, set “Progressive Output” to “On.” You will enjoy accurate colour reproduction and high quality images.

ENTER.

2Select “On,” and press ENTER. The display asks for confirmation.

3Select “Start,” and press ENTER. The video switches to a progressive signal for 5 seconds.

4If video signal appears OK, select “Yes,” and press ENTER.

If picture is distorted, select “No,” and press ENTER.

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 and video signal from HDMI OUT jack 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 19).

Video-based) and selects the
