About PROGRESSIVE SCANNING MODE To display video on the TV screen, the conventional scanning method is called “Interlaced scanning.” With this method, only half of the horizontal lines are displayed at a time. So two fields complete a single picture (frame); i.e., the first field, containing all the odd-numbered lines, is displayed followed by the second field, containing all the even-numbered lines. The Progressive scanning system scans all horizontal lines at a time, so you can double the number of lines compared with the interlaced scanning, resulting in a high-density, flicker-free picture. To enjoy a progressive scanned video, the TV connected to the unit must have Progressive inputs. Depending on the material source format, DVD discs can be classified into two categories; film and video (note that some DVD discs contain both a film source and a video source). Film sources are recorded as 24-frame-persecond information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30-frame-per second (60-field-per-second interlaced) information. When the unit plays back a film source material, uninterlaced progressive output signals are created using the original information. When a video source material is played back, the unit interleaves lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive signal. NOTES: • Some discs may not be played back with the progressive scanning mode correctly because of the disc characteristics or recording condition. • There are some progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets that are not fully compatible with the unit, resulting in the unnatural picture when playing back a DVD disc in the Progressive scanning mode. In such a case, use the Interlaced scanning mode. • You cannot make the progressive scanning mode active in following cases. – The unit is in the VCR mode. – The disc is played back in the DVD mode. – The S-VIDEO/COMPONENT video selector switch is set to S-VIDEO position. 30 2E50401A[E](28-BACK) 30 9/1/04, 10:06 Language code list Enter the appropriate code number for the initial settings “Menu”, “Subtitle” and/or “Audio” (see page 29).
