ABOUT THE DISCS [DVD] Data on a DVD is divided into sections called "titles", and then into subsections called "chapters", each of which is given a title or chapter number. Playback conditions are preset on some DVD video discs, and these playback conditions take priority over user operations on this player. If a function you selected do not run as desired, refer to the manual accompanying the disc.

Next, set your TV to the progressive scan mode. If your TV is not compatible with progressive scan, set the INTERLACE/PROGRESSIVE SCAN SELECTOR to I(INTERLACE). ¡Use a commercially available adaptor if the video input jacks of your TVs or monitors are the BNC type. ¡If you switch PROGRESSIVE/INTERLACE when the power is on, the DVD player will automatically be turned off. When you turn on the DVD player again, the last selected scanning system will be employed. What is Progressive Scanning? ¡Unlike conventional interlace scanning, the progressive scan system provides less flickering and images in higher resolution than that of traditional (480i) television signals. ¡When P(PROGRESSIVE) is selected, no video signal will be output from the VIDEO OUT, or S-VIDEO OUT jack. -5- EN
