Changing the format of the
video signal output from
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks
Progressive is a method for displaying
TV images that reduces flickering and
sharpens the image. To use this method,
you need to connect to a TV that can
accept progressive signals.
You can output video signals from
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks in
Interlace or Progressive format.

repeatedly to select “DVD” (or
press DVD 
 on the unit).
2
Press PROGRESSIVE  on the
unit repeatedly.
Select “P AUTO” or “P VIDEO” if
your TV accepts progressive signals
and the TV is connected to the

P AUTO (PROGRESSIVE AUTO):
The system automatically detects
the software type and selects the
appropriate conversion method.
P VIDEO (PROGRESSIVE VIDEO):
The system fixes the conversion
method to PROGRESSIVE VIDEO

Select this if the image is not clear
when you select “P AUTO.”
About DVD VIDEO software types and
the conversion method
The DVD VIDEO software can be
divided into 2 types:
 Film-based software
Film-based software is derived from
film and displays the images at 24
frames per second.
 Video-based software
Video-based software is derived from
TV, such as dramas and sitcoms and
displays images at 30 frames or 60
fields per second.
Some DVD VIDEO contains both types
of software. In order for these images to
appear in your TV naturally when the
video output is in progressive format, the
progressive signals need to be converted
to match your DVD VIDEO software.
Note
There would be no image on your TV or the
image is not clear if your setting does not
match your TV or connection.
