INTERLACE This outputs the signal in interlace format. Select this when you are connected to a standard (interlace format) TV. PROGRESSIVE This outputs the signal in progressive (480p) format. Select this when you have a TV that can accept progressive signals. z When the player outputs a Progressive video signal, "PROGRESSIVE" appears in the front panel display. 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. Then set "COMPONENT OUT" to "INTERLACE" when you can see the TV screen correctly, and reset 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 "CUSTOM SETUP" display and connect the player to the TV that is able to accept the video signal in progressive format (480p). xMODE (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. 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 84 software that you are watching. For more information about conversion modes, see "Progressive Conversion Methods of Film Based and Video Based Software." 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. Notes • Some DVD software contains both Video and Film. For instance, DVDs of movies may contain the movie taken on film, and a "Making of" sequence taken on video. • 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 VIDEO OUT 1/2 jacks are unaffected as they are output in the interlace format.
