P.SCAN(Progressive Scan) Function
Unlike regular Interlace Scan, in which two fields of picture information alternate to create the
entire picture (odd scan lines, then even scan lines), Progressive Scan uses one field of
information (all lines displayed in one pass) to create a clear and detailed picture without visible
scan lines.
Wireless Rear Speakers and Amp
The HT-DB390 has a rear surround wireless amp that removes the need for long speaker cables
between the main unit and rear speakers.
