progressive scan question (1 Viewer)

Do i have to use component cables to get progressive scan from my Toshiba 4700? Also, will it even do anything with my Sony Vega?
My Sony Vega has component inputs, but does that mean it accepts progressive scan? Or are there special inputs for pro-scan that you use special pro-scan cables with???
thanks

Yes, you have to use component cables to get progressive scan. However, just coz your TV/DVD player has component input/outputs doesn't mean it supports progressive scan.

progressive scan doesnt mean component cables, and vice versa. (although if you had the ability to use component cables and didnt, you'd be making a bad choice). you can think of it this way: it's just the same as using composite cables (the red, white, and yellow) or an s-video hookup, but it only transmits video. it also had MUCH improved quality over the other two.
if the Wega isnt a digital tv, it will do nothing. you need to select 'interlaced' playback on the dvd player.

Note: There is no such thing as progressive scan S-video or composite video (either NTSC or PAL).
