If your television is a high-definition or “digital ready”
television, you may take advantage of the recorder’s
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.
Set the Progressive Scan to [ON] on the setup
menu for progressive signal, see page 17.
Note:
Progressive scan does not work with the analog video
connections (yellow VIDEO OUTPUT jack).
Caution
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
) and hold it for five seconds before
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.
