So two fields complete a single picture (frame); i.e.,the first field, containing all the odd-numbered lines, isdisplayed followed by the second field, containing all theeven-numbered lines.The Progressive scanning system scans all horizontallines at a time, so you can double the number of linescompared with the interlaced scanning, resulting in a high-density, flicker-free picture.To enjoy a progressive scanned video, the TV connectedto the unit must have Progressive inputs.Depending on the material source format, DVD discs canbe classified into two categories; film and video (note thatsome DVD discs contain both a film source and a videosource). Film sources are recorded as 24-frame-per-second information, while (NTSC) video sources arerecorded as 30-frame-per second (60-field-per-secondinterlaced) information.When the unit plays back a film source material,uninterlaced progressive output signals are created usingthe original information. When a video source material isplayed back, the unit interleaves lines between theinterlaced lines on each to create the interpolated pictureand outputs as the progressive signal.NOTES:•Some discs may not be played back with the progressive scan-ning mode correctly because of the disc characteristics or re-cording condition.•There are some progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets thatare not fully compatible with the unit, resulting in the unnaturalpicture when playing back a DVD disc in the Progressive scan-ning mode.
