P.SCAN
(Progressive Scan)
Function
Unlike a regular Interlace Scan in which two fields of picture information are alternated to
create the entire picture (odd scan lines, then even scan lines), Progressive Scan uses one
field of information (all lines displayed in one pass) to create a clear and detailed picture
without visible scan lines.
Hold the P.SCAN button down for longer than 1 second.
•
The selection switches back and forth between " P.SCAN" and "I.SCAN" each time the button is held
down for a minimum of 1 second.
• The previous mode is indicated in the display first, followed by the selected mode in about a second.
In interlaced-scan video, a frame consists of two
interlaced fields (odd and even), where each field
contains every other horizontal line in the frame.
The odd field of alternating lines is displayed first, and
then the even field is displayed to fill in the alternating
gaps left by the odd field to form a single frame.
One frame, displayed every 1/30th of a second, contains
two interfaced fields, thus a total of 60 fields are
displayed every 1/60th of a second each.
The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing
a still object.
Interlaced Scan (1 FRAME = 2 FIELDS)
The progressive scanning method scans one full frame of
video consecutively down the screen, line by line.
As opposed to the interlaced scanning process by which a
video image is drawn in a series of passes, you get an
entire image drawn at one time.
The progressive scanning method is desirable for dealing
with moving objects. A camera that has the ability to
capture moving objects is called a "full frame shutter
camera".
Progressive Scan (FULL FRAME)
What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning?
• This function works only on TVs equipped with component video inputs (Y, Pr, Pb) that support Progressive
Video. (It does not work on TVs with conventional component inputs, i.e., non-progressive scan TVs.)
• Depending on the brand and model of your TV, this function may not work.
• This unit only outputs 480i and 480p in progressive scan mode.
Note
The cooling fan dissipates the heat generated inside the unit so that the unit can be operated
normally. The cooling fan is activated automatically to supply cool air to the unit.
Please observe the following cautions for your safety.
• Make sure the unit is well-ventilated. If the unit has poor ventilation, the temperature inside the unit could rise
and may damage it.
• Do not obstruct the cooling fan or ventilation holes. (If the cooling fan or ventilation holes are covered with a
newspaper or cloth, heat may build up inside the unit and fire may result.)

Connecting the Antennas
Connect the FM antenna supplied to the
FM 75
Ω COAXIAL terminal as a
temporary measure.
Slowly move the antenna wire around
until you find a location where reception
is good, then fasten it to a wall or other
rigid surface.
• If reception is poor, connect an outdoor antenna.
Before attaching a 75 Ω coaxial cable (with a standard type connector),
disconnect the supplied FM antenna.

to the AM and terminals.
If reception is poor, connect an outdoor
single vinyl-covered wire to the AM
terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna
connected).
