About DVD software types and the conversion method DVD software can be divided into 2 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 format, the progressive signals need to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are watching. Note • When you play video-based software in progressive signal format, sections of some types of images may appear unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. Even though you set to "PROGRESSIVE," images from the MONITOR OUT (VIDEO or S VIDEO) jack are unaffected as they are output in the interlace format. 23GB

About DVD software types and the conversion method

DVD software can be divided into 2 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 format, the

progressive signals need to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are watching.

Note

• When you play video-based software in progressive signal format, sections of some types of images may appear

unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. Even though

you set to “PROGRESSIVE,” images from the MONITOR OUT (VIDEO or S VIDEO) jack are unaffected as they

are output in the interlace format.
