Off Sets the black level of the input signals to the standard level. Normally, select this. Note Depending on the disc, "4:3 Letter Box" may be selected automatically instead of "4:3 Pan Scan" or vice versa. Pause Mode (DVDs only) Selects the picture quality in pause mode. Auto Frame The picture, including subjects that move dynamically, is output with no jitter. Normally select this position. The picture, including subjects that do not move dynamically, is output in high resolution.

Progressive Mode 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. Some DVD software contains both Video and Film. In order for these images to appear natural on your screen when output in PROGRESSIVE mode, the progressive video signal needs to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are watching. You can fine-tune the progressive 480p video signals that are output when you press PROGRESSIVE ("PROGRESSIVE" lights up). Note that you must connect to a progressive format TV using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (page 17).
