About progressive scan video
Compared to interlace video, progressive
scan video effectively doubles the scanning
rate of the picture, resulting in a very stable,
flicker-free image.
Progressive scan video is available only from
the component video output. Use the
PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel to
switch the component video output between
interlace and progressive. With a DVD-Video
disc you can do this during playback, or
when the disc is stopped. For other types of
disc, the player must be stopped.
• If you connect a TV that is not compat-
ible with a progressive scan signal and
switch the player to progressive, you will
not be able to see any picture at all. In
this case, press the
PROGRESSIVE
button on the front panel to swich back
to interlace (the
PROGRESSIVE indica-
tor should be unlit).
• When set to progressive, there is no
video output from the VIDEO and
S-VIDEO jacks. If you want to display
video on more than one monitor
simultaneously, make sure that the
video output is set to interlace.
• Some TVs display 4:3 material incor-
rectly in progressive scan mode. This
player has an Auto Progressive setting
to correct this problem. See
page 53 for
more information (DV-656A only).
• You can’t switch the video output when
an OSD is on-screen.
• The picture on some TVs may momen-
tarily break up when you switch the
video output of this player.
