How do I get Progressive Scan on my 65i Sony? (1 Viewer)

[LouieT]

Some of you guys might laugh at me for this, but oh well. I've had the Sony KDP65XBR HDTV widescreen for a few months now. I'm pretty sure it's a progressive scan TV, but not too sure. I've been using a Phillips 825 player (which is pretty old), but I recently bought a Malata 520 all region player. My question is, each time I select the "progressive scan" set up in the Malata, my picture turns to black and white and I have a hard time getting it back. Is there a problem with my set up or do I just not have a progressive scan TV?

Do you have the player connected thru component inputs.?

The Malata may not be compatible--it's all-region circuitry is not working with your NTSC set. The Macrovision copy-protection is causing the problem. You need some way to to scan at PAL frequencies. (I assume you have connected the DVD player directly to your display. You're not trying to run it through a VCR are you?)

I'm connecting it directly to the receiver, then through to the TV, by component cable. Is this wrong?

try bypassing the receiver hook up direct.
