Different scanning modes

Interlaced scan

Technology that alternately displays odd-numbered scanning lines and even-numbered scanning lines. Also called “480i”, “i” meaning “interlace”.

Progressive scan

Technology that simultaneously displays odd-numbered scanning lines and even-numbered scanning lines from top to bottom. Also called “480p”, “p” meaning “progressive”.

Disc playback

NOTES:

Some discs may not be played back with the progressive scan mode correctly because of the disc characteris- tics or recording condition.

There are some progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets that are not fully compatible with the unit, resulting in an unnatural picture when playing back a DVD disc in the progressive scan mode. In such a case, use the interlaced scanning mode.

You cannot activate the progressive scan mode when the unit is in the VCR mode.
