Just received my new prog scan dvd player and when I hooked it up....YUK! Svideo, standard video and comp video all had the same crappy picture into my tv. The resolution was terrible, identical to a computer that goes into safe mode and half the colors disappear along with a fuzzy edge to everything. I went into the settings and changed the output from interlaced to progressive and it was fixed. My tv is not HD though, so shouldn't it have looked fine with it set to interlaced? I also thought it said that prog scan would only be noticable through the component output but the picture changed in the standard video connection too. Almost wonder if the progressive scan setting IS just interlaced and maybe they have some other crappy resolution under the interlaced setting just so you think you're getting more by setting it to progressive. Wouldn't THAT be a scam....Anybody notice something like this? My other two non-progressive players(also Onkyo) were fine with all the outputs into the same televisions.

Your set doesn't need to be HD but progressive scan should only work into your component video inputs. Are you sure you weren't setting the video to PAL or something other than NTSC?

  I have it set now to progressive scan and i'm running it through the s-video and it looks good. I didn't change any other settings since i took it out of the box besides changing it from interlaced to progressive. I need to play around with it some more i guess. I figured the interlaced should work through all of the outputs. But when I did that it looked like the safe mode setting on a computer monitor. Is pal a lower resolution?

    I believe PAL is a higher resolution used in Europe, not in the US. US is NTSC.
