Hi,
In leafing through my television manual last night--I have a JVCAV27S33; a standard 27 inch, 4 x 3 television--I discovered a note about the set not being compatible with "progressive" dvd players.
Is this a misleading comment? Don't most "progressive" dvd players have non-progressive playback modes which would support their being used on standard televisions? Or, are these units totally incompatible with all non-HD televisions?
I ask mainly because my current, non-progressive player is getting a little long-in-the-tooth, and most contemporary dvd players seem to be labled "progressive". I want to be sure I'll be able to find a replacement dvd unit that will operate with this JVC should I need one.
I'd appreciate any input on this.
Thanks,
Jack
