About progressive scan video
Compared to interlace video, progressive scan
video effectively doubles the scanning rate of
the picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-
free image. Progressive scan video is available
only from the component video output.
Compatibility of this player with
progressive-scan and high-definition TVs.
This player is compatible with progressive
