Settings and Adjustments
Adjusting the Progressive video signal
(SET PROGRESSIVE OUTPUT)
• AUTO: This will automatically detect if you are playing
Film based or Video based software and convert the
signal to the appropriate mode.
• VIDEO: This will convert the output signal for Video
based software, regardless of the type of software that
you are playing.
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.
• If you select “VIDEO” and play back a DVD that contains Film
based software, sections of images may be unclear.
• When you select “AUTO,” sections of images may become
unclear. This happens when the output signal tag (progressive/
interlace) is not correct on the software. If this happens, set the
conversion mode to “VIDEO.”
x 4:3 OUTPUT
Adjust this when you watch progressive signals on a
standard 4:3 aspect ratio television. If you can change the
aspect ratio on your progressive format (480p) compatible
TV, change the setting on your TV, not the player.
• FULL: when you can change the aspect ratio on your
TV.
• NORMAL: when you cannot change the aspect ratio on
your TV. A 16:9 aspect ratio signal will be shown with
black bands on left and right sides of the image, and a
4:3 aspect ratio signal will be shown with black bands
on all sides of the image.
You can fine-tune the Progressive (480p) video signal
output when you have selected “PROGRESSIVE” in
“COMPONENT OUT” of the “CUSTOM SETUP” display
and connect the player to the TV that be able to accept the
video signal in progressive format (480p).
The default settings are underlined.
Select “SET PROGRESSIVE OUTPUT” in the setup
display.
Note
If you select “PROGRESSIVE” in spite of you connect the player
to a TV that cannot accept the signal in progressive format, the
image quality will deteriorate. In this case, set SCAN SELECT
switch on the back panel of the player to “INTERLACE.” Then
set “COMPONEMT OUT” to “INTERLACE” after you can see
the TV screen correctly, and set SCAN SELECT to
“SELECTABLE.”
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 software that you are watching. For more
information about conversion modes, see "Progressive
Conversion methods of Film Based and Video Based
Software."
