ond with NTSC and PAL60Hz or at 50 frames/second with
PAL50Hz and SECAM to play back a high-definition image.
Note
•In NTSC or PAL60Hz, even if the 3D Progressive
mode has been set, the three-two pull down enhance-
ment will be enabled automatically when the film
source has been entered.
•When the image is blurred or noisy, switch to the
optimal mode.
•When using progressive inputs, inputs are directly
displayed so that “2D Progressive”, “3D Progressive”
and “Film Mode” cannot be selected.
