Progressive Scan Troubleshooting
Some high-end HDTVs and multimedia monitors offer progressive scanning of the video signal
instead of interlace. Proponents of Progressive Scan say it provides a crisper picture because it
eliminates the “flicker” or “jitter” at the edges of the screen.Your DVD player is equipped to send
a progressive scan signal.
IMPORTANT:
If you don’t have a Progressive Scan TV or you don’t have the DVD player connected to the
correct Input Jacks, and you activate Progressive Scan in the DVD player you won’t see a
picture! Don’t panic—try the following:
First, make sure the yellow cable (attached to the white and red cable called audio/video cables) is
connected to the DVD player’s VIDEO jack and the TV’s Video Input jack. Change your TV channel
to your TV’s Video Input channel that activates the TV’s Video Input jack (page 9 has more
information).
If that doesn’t work, press the PREV/video button on the front of the DVD player (it will go to
the next video output option, which is an interlace output so a picture should appear on the TV
screen).
If that doesn’t work, follow the directions at the top of this page (it will go to the next video
output option, which is an interlace output so a picture should appear on the TV screen).
As a last resort, you can reset the DVD player to the factory default settings:
Press
the
STOP button on the front of the player then the
(NEXT)
button on the front of
the player. Make sure you press these buttons within a few seconds of each other. Each of
the buttons must be pressed in this order. Release both buttons.
