Selecting the video output jack and signal format (PROGRESSIVE
button)
By using the PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel, you can select the jack from which the
player outputs Progressive or Interlace signals. The default setting will output Interlace signals
from the LINE OUT(VIDEO) or S VIDEO OUT jacks.
Press the button once to switch to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. Each additional press
of the button will change the output signal as shown below.
Note that signals are not output from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks when “LINE OUT/
S VIDEO OUT” is selected, and signals are not output from the LINE OUT(VIDEO) or S
VIDEO OUT jacks when any other setting is selected.
◆
When your TV is connected to jack other than COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (LINE
OUT(VIDEO) or S VIDEO OUT), select:
- “LINE OUT/S VIDEO OUT”
◆
When your TV is connected to COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, select:
- “NORMAL (INTERLACE)”
- “PROGRESSIVE AUTO”
Normally select this if your TV is compatible with progressive signals. This automatically
detects the software type, and selects the appropriate conversion method.
- “PROGRESSIVE VIDEO”
Select this if your TV is compatible with progressive signals and the image is not clear when
you select PROGRESSIVE AUTO. This setting will fix the conversion method to
PROGRESSIVE VIDEO for video based software.
About DVD software types and the conversion method
DVD software can be divided into two types: film-based software and video based software.
Video-based software is derived from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and displays images at
30 frames/60 fields (25 frames/50 fields) per second. Film-based software is derived from film
and displays images at 24 frames per second. Some DVD software contains both video and film.
In order for these images to appear natural on your screen when output in progressive format,
the progressive signals need to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are
watching.
Notes
• When you play video-based software in progressive signal format, sections of some types of images may
appear unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
jacks.
• Using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks will cause the picture to go blank. In this case, press the
PROGRESSIVE button to see the picture.
• When using LINE OUT (VIDEO) or S VIDEO OUT, the picture will go blank when your setting is
“NORMAL (INTERLACE)”, or “PROGRESSIVE AUTO”, or “PROGRESSIVE VIDEO”. In this case,
press the button repeatedly until you see the picture.
