Progressive Scan

If your TV is capable of displaying Progressive Scan video, you must do three things to watch
DVDs in Progressive Scan format—make sure your TV is a Progressive Scan TV; connect the DVD
player to the TV via the COMPONENT OUT jacks (Y, Pb, Pr); and turn on Progressive Scan in the
DVD player.

1) Make sure your TV is a Progressive Scan TV (check the owner’s manual)

2) Connect the DVD Player to the Progressive Scan TV via the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks
