I've bought the Philips VDP 5990 DVD Player. When I connect it to my Sanyo Plv-Z1 video projector using the component cables, I don't seem to be able to activate Progressive Scan, despite following the Philips manual's instructions for setting up progressive scan via the component connection.
When I select the progressive scan option, I get a notification asking me to check that my TV (!) supports progressive scan and then press OK to confirm activation. But when I do press OK, the "progressive" option always reverts to "Off".
The extremely complicated instructions in the user manual say one should first *disable* DE-interlacing on one's TV (it always only talks about TVs) before doing the above. Of course, there is no way to disable it on the video projector.
However, even when the option is off, the picture looks as good as via a VGA connector from my PC. Perhaps this is because, apparently, the Plv-Z1 has a built-in line doubler.
Philips' product support failed to respond. Any comments/suggestions?
