player to a standard (analog) television, set PROGRESSIVE to Off.

• Some discs may not be played back with the progressive

or recording condition.

picture will appear scrambled if you select progressive scan
output from the unit. In such a case, select PROGRESSIVE
scan Off.

disabled except component video outputs.
• You cannot make the progressive scanning mode active in
following cases.

There are two types of source content in pictures recorded in
DVD video discs: film content (pictures recorded from films
at 24 frames per second) and video content (video signals
recorded at 30 frames per second).
When the unit plays back a film source material, uninterlaced
progressive output signals are created using the original
information. When a video content is played back, the unit
interleaves lines between the interlaced lines on each to
create the interpolated picture and outputs as the progres-
sive signal.
