Notes
• If you cannot play a downloaded DivX VOD file that
you have recorded on a CD-R, the rental period may
have elapsed. Other possible reasons may be that the
version is incorrect, or the settings were incorrect
when you downloaded the file or recorded it on a
CD-R. For details on DivX VOD files, refer to http:/
/www.divx.com.
• You can change the color system of this unit
according to the connected TV (page 9).
Tip
You can reset all the settings except for Parental
Control by performing the operations described under
“To return the settings to the default settings*, perform
reset as follows:” (page 40).
* Except for Parental Control settings
To change the type of signal
output from the system
— Progressive
Progressive is the method for displaying TV
images which reduces flickering, and sharpens
the image. To display using this method, you
need to connect to a TV that accepts progressive
signals.
1
Press DVD (or FUNCTION + or –
repeatedly) to switch the function to DVD.
Playback starts automatically if a disc with auto
playback function is loaded. Press x to stop
playback.
2
Press PROGRESSIVE on the unit.
Each time you press PROGRESSIVE on the
unit, the on-screen display changes as follows:
P-SCAN*
y Interlace (default setting)
* “PROGRE” appears in the front panel display
when the system outputs progressive signals.
x P-SCAN
Select this setting when your TV accepts
progressive signals and the TV is connected to
the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.
Normally select this setting under the above
condition.
Note that the picture will not be clear or no
picture will appear if you select these settings
when either of the above conditions is not met.
x Interlace (default setting)
Select this setting when your TV does not accept
progressive signals or your TV is connected to
the VIDEO OUT jack.
About DVD software types and
the conversion method
DVD software can be divided into 2 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. Some DVD
software contains both video and film.
In order for these images to appear natural on
your screen when output in progressive format,
the progressive signals need to be converted to
match the type of DVD software that you are
watching.
Note
When you play video-based software in progressive
signal format, sections of some types of images may
appear unnatural due to the conversion process when
output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.
Even though you set to “P-SCAN,” images from the
VIDEO OUT jack are unaffected as they are output in
the interlace format.
