SETUP
Interlace:
Select this option when the television or projector does not sup-
port progressive inputs (factory default setting).
Progressive:
This mode produces finely detailed, high-definition images and
should be selected when using a television or projector that sup-
ports progressive inputs.
¶
If this player is set to output progressive-scan video, it’s pos-
sible that the picture will appear stretched when playing discs
recorded in 4:3 format. This happens when the TV’s aspect
ratio is set ‘Full’. To see the picture in its correct aspect ratio,
change the TV setting to ‘Normal’.
If your TV doesn’t have settings to change the aspect ratio of
the picture, set this player to 16:9 (Compressed).
Note:
If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan
signal and choose one of the progressive scan settings, you will not
be able to see any picture at all. With your TV connected using ei-
ther the composite or S-Video terminals, choose the Interlace set-
ting in the Component Video menu.

NECTION TO THE “STANDARD DEFINITION” OUTPUT. IF THERE
