DVD software can be divided into 2 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 per second. Film-based software is derived from film and displays images at 24 frames 
per second. Some DVD software contains both video and film. 
In order for these images to appear 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.

• When you play video-based software in progressive signal format, sections of some types of images may appear 

unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. Even though 
you set to “PROGRESSIVE AUTO” or “PROGRESSIVE VIDEO,” images from the MONITOR OUT (VIDEO or 
S VIDEO) jack are unaffected as they are output in the interlace format.
