appears in the front panel display when the
recorder outputs progressive signals.
◆Progressive
Select this when:
– your TV accepts progressive signals, and,
– the TV is connected to the COMPONENT
VIDEO OUT jacks.
Note that the pictures will not be clear or no
picture will appear if you select progressive signal
output when either of the above conditions is not
met.
◆Interlace
Set to this position when:
– your TV does not accept progressive signals, or,
– your TV is connected to jacks other than the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (LINE OUT
(VIDEO) or S VIDEO).
z Hint
When you select progressive signal output, you can fine-
tune the signal according to the type of software you are
watching (page 88).
