With a conventional television, also called pan and scan, the electron gun scans every other line of the screen once every 1/30th of a second. With a progressive scan TV (like your computer monitor) the lines are scanned in succession in the same amount of time (1/30th of a second). In order to take advantage of this feature, the DVD has to have compatible circuitry. However, you won't get the advantages of a progressive scan DVD player with a conventional pan and scan TV.
