z When the player outputs a Progressive video
signal, “PROGRESSIVE” appears in the front panel
display.
Note
If you select “PROGRESSIVE” when you connect the
player to a TV that cannot accept the signal in
progressive format (480p), the image quality will
deteriorate. In this case, set the COMPONENT
VIDEO OUT/SCAN SELECT switch on the back
panel of the player to INTERLACE. Then set
“COMPONENT OUT” to “INTERLACE” when you
can see the TV screen correctly, and reset
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT/SCAN SELECT switch
to SELECTABLE.
You can fine-tune the Progressive (480p)
video signal output when you select
“PROGRESSIVE” in “COMPONENT
OUT” of the “CUSTOM SETUP” display
and connect the player to the TV that is able
to accept the video signal in progressive
format (480p).
x MODE (Conversion Modes)
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 per
second. Film based software is derived from
film and displays images at 24 frames per
second. In order for these images to appear
natural on your screen when output in
PROGRESSIVE mode (60 frames per
second), the progressive video signal needs
to be converted to match the type of DVD
software that you are watching. For more
information about conversion modes, see
“Progressive Conversion Methods of Film
Based and Video Based Software.”
Notes
•
Some DVD software contains both Video and Film.
For instance, DVDs of movies may contain the
movie taken on film, and a “Making of” sequence
taken on video.
•
When you play video based software with
progressive signals, 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
1/2 and VIDEO OUT 1/2 jacks are unaffected as
they are output in the interlace format.
INTERLACE This outputs the signal in
interlace format. Select this
when you are connected to a
standard (interlace format)
TV.
PROGRESSIVE This outputs the signal in
progressive (480p) format.
Select this when you have a
TV that can accept
progressive signals.
When “PROGRESSIVE” is selected in
“COMPONENT OUT”
AUTO This will automatically detect if
you are playing Film based or
Video based software and
convert the signal to the
appropriate conversion mode.
Normally select this position.
VIDEO This will set the conversion
mode for Video based software,
regardless of the type of software
that you are playing.
