PROGRESSIVE (the PROGRESSIVE 
indicator lights up) and connect the player 
using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks 
to a TV that is able to accept the video signal 
in progressive format.

◆ MODE (PROGRESSIVE)

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 (25 
frames/50 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 or 50 frames per second), the 
progressive video signal needs to be 
converted to match the type of DVD software 
that you are watching.

Using the LINE OUT (VIDEO) jack or the S 
VIDEO OUT jack will cause the picture to become 
unclear or go blank when you set NORMAL/
PROGRESSIVE switch to PROGRESSIVE. In this 
case, set NORMAL/PROGRESSIVE switch to 
NORMAL so that the PROGRESSIVE indicator 
turns off.

Use this to set up playback related and other 
settings.

Select “CUSTOM SETUP” in the Setup 
Display. To use the display, see “Using the 
Setup Display” (page 68).
