When connecting to a wide screen TV
Depending on the disc, the image of some discs may not fit your TV screen. If you want to 
change the aspect ratio, please refer to page 65.

• Connect the player directly to the TV. If you pass the player signals via the VCR, you may not receive a 

clear image on the TV screen.

• Consumers should note that not all high definition television sets are fully compatible with this product and 

may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In the case of 480 progressive scan picture problems, it 
is recommended that you switches the connection to the standard definition output. If there are questions 
regarding your Sony TV set’s compatibility with this model 480p DVD player, please contact our customer 
service center.

You can fine-tune the Progressive 480p video signal output when you press PROGRESSIVE on 
the front panel (the PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up in blue) and connect the player using the 
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to a TV that is able to accept the video signal in progressive 
format.

◆ Conversion Modes
DVD software can be divided into two types: film based software and video based software. 
Video based software is derived from the 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.
Press PROGRESSIVE repeatedly to turn or change the displays as follows:

* Appears as NORMAL, P AUTO, P VIDEO, or P FILM on the front panel display

• NORMAL (INTERLACE)

Select this when you are connected to a standard (Interlace format) TV.

• PROGRESSIVE AUTO

Select this when you are connected to a progressive TV. 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 when you are connected to a progressive TV.

• PROGRESSIVE VIDEO

Select this when you are connected to a progressive TV. This will set the conversion mode for 
Video based software, regardless of the type of software that you are playing.

• PROGRESSIVE FILM

Select this when you are connected to a progressive TV. This will set the conversion mode for 
Film based software, regardless of the type of software that you are playing.

• When you select PROGRESSIVE FILM, the progressive format images may become unclear or unnatural. 

If this happens, select PROGRESSIVE 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 and LINE OUT (VIDEO) jacks are unaffected as they are output in the 
normal (interlace) format.
