Notes

•If you select progressive signals when you connect the recorder to a TV that cannot accept the signal in progressive format, the image quality will deteriorate. In this case, set “Progressive” to “Off.” Or, press DVD to operate the DVD recorder in stop mode, and then hold down X PAUSE on the recorder for five seconds or more.

•When you connect your TV using an HDMI cable, the “Progressive” setting is set to “On.”
