There are two types of source content in pictures recorded in
DVD video discs: fi lm content (pictures recorded from fi lms
at 24 frames per second) and video content (video signals
recorded at 30 frames per second). Make this selection
according to the type of content being viewed.
Film
The player converts fi lm content pictures in the progressive
output format appropriately. Suitable for playback of fi lm
content pictures.
Video
The player fi lters video signal, and converts it in the
progressive output format appropriately. Suitable for
playback of video content pictures.
Auto
Select this position normally. The player automatically
detects source content, fi lm or video, of playback source,
and converts that signal in the progressive output format in
an appropriate method.
Note
Depending on a disc, “Auto” setting may not be able to detect
source content. If pictures may be doubled, roughened, or
may show other abnormality, “Film” or “Video” selection is
recommended for possible improvement.
