Progressive scan video playback available

In the Progressive scanning mode, you can enjoy high quality picture with less flickers when the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks are connected to a TV or monitor that supports the progressive video input.

Hint

Depending on the source material format, DVD VIDEO discs can be classified into two types; film source and video source (note that some DVD VIDEO discs contain both film source and video source). Film sources are recorded as 24-frame-per-second information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30frame-per-second (60-field-per-second interlaced) information. When the player plays back a film source material, Progressive (uninterlaced) signals are created using the original information. When a video source material is played back, the player interleaves lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

Connecting to a digital audio device

You can enjoy sound of enhanced quality by connecting the player’s DIGITAL OUT (either OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack to a digital input of an amplifier, etc., using an optical or coaxial digital cable. The digital audio signal on a disc will be transferred directly from the player. If the connected digital audio equipment is a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound.

NOTES

• Connect the player and the digital audio device by using either an optical digital cable or a coaxial digital cable.

• It is not recommended to use the digital jacks for dubbing. When recording the sounds (DVD AUDIO, DVD VIDEO, SVCD, Video CD or Audio CD) played back on the player, record them through the analog jacks (in this case, set [ANALOG OUT] in the [AUDIO] preference display to [2-CH STEREO])(see page

34).

• Depending on the disc, no signal may be output from the DIGITAL OUT. Make an analog connection in this case.

• Set [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] in the [AUDIO] preference display correctly according to the connected digital audio equipment. If setting made for [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] is incorrect, loud noise may be generated causing damage to the speakers (see page 34).
