Page 70 highlights

Note If you select "PROGRESSIVE" when you connect the player to a TV that cannot accept the signal in progressive format (480p), the image quality will deteriorate. In this case, set the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT/SCAN SELECT switch on the back panel of the player to INTERLACE. When you can see the TV screen correctly, set "COMPONENT OUT" to "INTERLACE" and reset the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT/SCAN SELECT switch to SELECTABLE. When "PROGRESSIVE" is selected in "COMPONENT OUT" You can fine-tune the Progressive (480p) video signal output when you select "PROGRESSIVE" in "COMPONENT OUT" of the "SCREEN SETUP" display and connect the player to the TV that is able to accept the video signal in progressive format (480p). ◆ 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. Some DVD software contains both Video and Film. 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 DVD software that you are watching. AUTO VIDEO This will automatically detect if you are playing Film based or Video based software and convert the signal to the appropriate conversion mode. Normally select this position. This will set the conversion mode for Video based software, regardless of the type of software that you are playing. Note When you play video based software with progressive signals, sections of some types of images may appear unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. Images from the S VIDEO OUT 1/2 and LINE OUT VIDEO 1/2 jacks are unaffected as they are output in the interlace format. 70

Note
If you select “PROGRESSIVE” when you connect
the player to a TV that cannot accept the signal in
progressive format (480p), the image quality will
deteriorate. In this case, set the COMPONENT
VIDEO OUT/SCAN SELECT switch on the back
panel of the player to INTERLACE. When you can
see the TV screen correctly, set “COMPONENT
OUT” to “INTERLACE” and reset the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT/SCAN SELECT
switch to SELECTABLE.
When “PROGRESSIVE” is
selected in “COMPONENT OUT”
You can fine-tune the Progressive (480p)
video signal output when you select
“PROGRESSIVE” in “COMPONENT
OUT” of the “SCREEN SETUP” display and
connect the player to the TV that is able to
accept the video signal in progressive format
(480p).
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. Some DVD software contains both
Video and Film.
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 DVD software that you are
watching.
Note
When you play video based software with
progressive signals, sections of some types of
images may appear unnatural due to the conversion
process when output through the COMPONENT
VIDEO OUT jacks. Images from the S VIDEO
OUT 1/2 and LINE OUT VIDEO 1/2 jacks are
unaffected as they are output in the interlace format.
AUTO
This will automatically detect
if you are playing Film based
or Video based software and
convert the signal to the
appropriate conversion mode.
Normally select this position.
VIDEO
This will set the conversion
mode for Video based
software, regardless of the type
of software that you are
playing.
