    Question Progressive Scan

    Pardon what may appear to be a "dumb" question here, but......in order to use the progressive scan function of a DVD player, does the TV also have to be capable of that function?

    Yes, either 480p or 720p at this point. The upper-end HD format of 1080p has little play in consumer video as yet, but it's just a matter of time. You need either an HD-capable set or one designated as ED, or enhanced definition, which taps out at 480p.

    You also have to connect it with Component jacks (3) to get progressive performance.

    Oh, and it's NOT a dumb question.

    Thanks.....

    My DVD player does not mention the TV must be capable of that function. Instructions only state "during stop, press progressive button on remote". Thanks again.

    It's connected with component jacks. (I forgot to say that earlier)

    Any TV with component jack inputs IS progressive capable.

    Although I don't think a decent non-progressive capable TV has been made in the last 5 years or so with component input. Of course this doesn't include all the 25" sharps that sell at K-mart for $129. (do they even have component inputs?!)
