If your television is a high-definition or “digital ready”

progressive scan output for the highest video
resolution possible. If your TV does not accept the
Progressive Scan format, the picture will appear
scrambled if you try Progressive Scan on the recorder.
DR197: Set the Progressive to [ON] on the setup
menu for progressive signal, see page 19.
DR198/DR199: Set the resolution to 480p using
RESOLUTION button for progressive signal.
Note:
Progressive scan does not work with the analog video
connections (yellow VIDEO OUT jack) or S-VIDEO
connection.
Caution (DR197 only)
Once the setting for Progressive Scan output is
entered, an image will only be visible on a
Progressive Scan compatible TV or monitor. If you set
Progressive Scan to [ON] in error, you must reset the
recorder. First, remove the disc in the recorder. Next,
press STOP (
x

releasing it. The video output will be restored to the
standard setting, and a picture will once again be
visible on a conventional analog TV or monitor.
Caution (DR198/DR199 only)

OUT, S-VIDEO OUT and COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
