Selecting Progressive Scan (525p/480p or Interlaced 525i/480i) Playback
¡ If your TV is compatible with progressive scanning (525p/480p), connect the TV to the COMPONENT
VIDEO OUT jacks of this unit (refer to page 15), and set to the progressive scanning mode by pressing PLAY
for more than 5 seconds on the front of the unit. “P. SCAN” will appear on display of the unit.
¡ To set to the interlace mode, press PLAY for more than 5 seconds on the front of the unit. “P.SCAN” will
disappear on display of the unit.
¡ If your TV is not compatible with progressive scanning, keep this unit in the interlace mode (Make sure that

¡ Use a commercially available adaptor if the video input jacks of your TVs or monitors are the BNC type.
What is Progressive Scanning?
¡ Unlike conventional interlace scanning, the progressive scan system provides less flickering and images in
higher resolution than that of traditional (525i/480i) television signals.
