◆About DVD software ty pes and the conversion me th od

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 fr ame s/5 0 fields) per second. Film-based software is derived fro m film and displays images at 24 frames per second. Some DVD software contains both video and film. In order for thes e images to appea r natural on your screen when output in progressive format, the progressive signals need to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are watching.

Notes

• When you pl ay vide o- ba se d sof twa r e in prog ress ive signal format, sections of some types of im a ges may appear unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. Images from the S VI DEO OUT an d LINE OUT (VI DEO) j acks ar e un affect ed as they are outp ut in the normal (interlace) fo rm a t.

• When using LI NE OUT (VIDEO) or S VIDEO OUT, the pic tu re ma y a ppe a r to flick er each tim e the PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel is pressed (Interlace switches to Progressive or vice versa).
