Connecting the Video to TV P.SCAN

(Progressive Scan)

Function

Unlike a regular Interlace Scan in which two fields of picture information are alternated 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.

While the player is in the Stop mode, hold the P.SCAN button down for longer than 1 second.

• The selection switches back and forth between " P.SCAN

" and " I.SCAN

" each time the button is held down for a minimum of 1 second.

• The previous mode is indicated in the display first, followed by the selected mode in about a second.

Video

*

Depending on your TV, Component Video input connectors may be marked as DVD Video input connectors.

Composite Video (Good Quality)

Connect the supplied video cable from the VIDEO OUT jack on the back panel of the system to the VIDEO IN jack on your television.

S-Video (Better Quality)

If you television is equipped with an S-Video input, connect an S-Video cable (not supplied) from the S-VIDEO OUT jack on the back panel of the system to the S-VIDEO IN jack on your television.

Component Video (Best Quality)

If your television is equipped with Component Video inputs, connect a component video cable (not supplied) from the Pr, Pb and Y jacks on the back panel of the system to the corresponding jacks on your television.

Note

• When the Progressive scan mode is selected, the VIDEO and S-VIDEO outputs do not feed any signals. See page 16 to select Progressive Scan.

15

In interlaced-scan video, a frame consists of two interlaced fields (odd and even), where each field contains every other horizontal line in the frame.

The odd field of alternating lines is displayed first, and then the even field is displayed to fill in the alternating gaps left by the odd field to form a single frame.

One frame, displayed every 1/30th of a second, contains two interfaced fields, thus a total of 60 fields are displayed every 1/60th of a second each.

The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing a still object.

The progressive scanning method scans one full frame of video consecutively down the screen, line by line.

As opposed to the interlaced scanning process by which a video image is drawn in a series of passes, you get an entire image drawn at one time.

The progressive scanning method is desirable for dealing with moving objects. A camera that has the ability to capture moving objects is called a "full frame shutter camera".

Note • This function works only on TVs equipped with component video inputs (Y, Pr, Pb) that support Progressive

Video. (It does not work on TVs with conventional component inputs, i.e., non-progressive scan TVs.)

• Depending on the brand and model of your TV, this function may not work.
