For instance, DVDs of movies may contain the movie taken on film, and a "Making of" sequence taken on video. • If you select "VIDEO" and play back a DVD that contains Film based software, sections of images may be unclear. • When you select "AUTO," sections of images may become unclear. This happens when the output signal tag (progressive/ interlace) is not correct on the software. If this happens, set the conversion mode to "VIDEO." To set, press , then ENTER . To quit, press DISPLAY . Note If you select "PROGRESSIVE" in spite of you connect the player to a TV that cannot accept the signal in progressive format, the image quality will deteriorate.

Then set "COMPONEMT OUT" to "INTERLACE" after you can see the TV screen correctly, and set SCAN SELECT to "SELECTABLE." x 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. 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 software that you are watching. For more information about conversion modes, see "Progressive Conversion methods of Film Based and Video Based Software." x 4:3 OUTPUT Adjust this when you watch progressive signals on a standard 4:3 aspect ratio television. If you can change the aspect ratio on your progressive format (480p) compatible TV, change the setting on your TV, not the player. • FULL: when you can change the aspect ratio on your TV. • NORMAL: when you cannot change the aspect ratio on your TV. A 16:9 aspect ratio signal will be shown with black bands on left and right sides of the image, and a 4:3 aspect ratio signal will be shown with black bands on all sides of the image. 16:9 aspect ratio TV 4:3 aspect ratio TV 62
