programs, your existing descrambler must be used. Descrambler boxes are available from cable companies. Consult
your local cable company for more information concerning connection to their descrambler equipment. There are many
ways to connect your DVDNCR to a cable system. Below are six common methods of connection.

About PROGRESSIVE SCANNING MODE

To display video on the "IV screen, the conventional scanning
method is called "Interlaced scanning." With this method, only half
of the horizontal lines are displayed at a time. So two fields
complete a single picture (frame); i.e., the first field, containing all
the odd-numbered lines, is displayed followed by the second field,
containing all the even-numbered lines.
The Progressive scanning system scans all hodzontal lines at a
time, so you can double the number of lines compared with the
interlaced scanning, resulting in a high-density, flicker*free picture.

To enjoya progressive scanned video, the TV connected to the unit

must have Progressive inputs.
Depending on the material source format, DVD discs can be
classified into two categories; film and video (note that some DVD
discs contain both a film source and a video source). Film sources
are recorded as 24-frame-per-secor_l information, while (NTSC)
video sources are recorded as 30-frame-per second (60-field-per-
second interlaced) information.
When the unit plays back a film source material, unintedaced
progressiveoutputsignalsare created usingthe originalinformation,
When a video source material is played back, the unit interleaves
lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the interpolated
picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

NOTES:
• Some discs may not be played back with the progressive scanning mode correctly because of the disc
characteristics or recording condition.
° There are some progressive "IV and High-Definition TV sets that are not fully compatible with the unit, resulting
in the unnatural picture when playing back a DVD disc in the Progressive scanning mode. In such a case, use the
Interlaced scanning mode.
• You cannot make the progressive scanning mode active in following cases.
- The unit is in the VCR mode.
- The disc is played back in the DVD mode.
- The S-VIDEO/COMPONENT video selector swich is set to S-VIDEO positon.
