ment to progressive mode images.

ing with the original encoded as is at 24

vert this film source to progressive video

gressive mode has been set, the three-
two pull down enhancement will be en-
abled automatically, when the film source
has been entered.
•In PAL50Hz or SECAM, the two-two pull
down enhancement will be enabled only
in the Film Mode, when the film source
has been entered.
