Using the PROGRESSIVE button
By using the PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel, you can select the signal format in which the player outputs video signals (Progressive or Interlace), and the conversion method for progressive signals. The PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up when the player outputs progressive signals. Each time you press PROGRESSIVE, the display changes as follows: PROGRESSIVE AUTO m PROGRESSIVE VIDEO m NORMAL (INTERLACE) �PROGRESSIVE AUTO Select this setting when: � your TV accepts progressive signals, and, � the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. Normally select this under the above condition. This automatically detects the software type, and selects the appropriate conversion method. Note that the picture will not be clear or no picture will appear if you select these settings when either of the above conditions is not met. �PROGRESSIVE VIDEO Select this setting when: � your TV accepts progressive signals, and, � the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, and � you want to fix the conversion method to PROGRESSIVE VIDEO for video-based software. Select this if the image is not clear when you select PROGRESSIVE AUTO. Note that the picture will not be clear or no picture will appear if you select these settings when either of the above conditions is not met. �NORMAL (INTERLACE) Select this setting when: � your TV does not accept progressive signals, or, � your TV is connected to jacks other than the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (LINE OUT (VIDEO) or S VIDEO OUT).

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.

Note
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. Images from the S VIDEO OUT and LINE OUT (VIDEO) jacks are unaffected as they are output in the normal (interlace) format.
