DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)
You can use this setting to help reduce roughness in the on-screen
image and produce a cleaner picture.
Notes
• ”DNR2” is more effective for reducing image roughness than “DNR1”, but in
some cases an afterimage may appear. If this occurs, select “Off”.
• The DNR function may produce limited results on some DVDs.
• When you set “Progressive” to “On”, “DNR” is automatically turned off and
cannot be turned on.
Outline Sharpening
You can sharpen or soften the outline of the on-screen image. The
higher the value, the sharper the outline. Normally, select “0”.
Note
Depending on the DVD, Outline Sharpening may produce limited results.
Display
During playback, you can display playback status information in the
top right corner of the screen for a few seconds.
On Playback status information is displayed for a few seconds.
Off Playback status information is not displayed.

Progressive
You can display an image in which the picture updates all the lines in
one pass. In most cases, this results in a clearer, flicker-free image. This
feature is available only if your TV and AV Cable* support progressive
scan (480p).
* The Component AV Cable (for PlayStation®2) (sold separately) is compatible
with progressive scan.
* The DVD player’s progressive scan mode is only available when playing a disc
recorded in NTSC format, and viewed on a TV that supports progressive scan
(480p).
Notes
• If picture quality is reduced or no image is displayed, set “Progressive” to “Off”
when the console is connected to a TV without the necessary equipment. If you
accidentally set this option to “On” for such a TV, picture quality may be
reduced or the picture may not be displayed. To clear the setting, follow these
steps:
1 Check that you have a DVD in the console.
2 Press the
\/1 (on/standby)/RESET button on the console front. Then
press and hold down the START button of the Analog Controller
(DUALSHOCK
®2) in controller port 1 until the DVD picture is
displayed. The “Progressive” setting is returned to “Off”, allowing
the DVD-Video to be displayed as normal. You can also cancel this
setting using the “Clear Progressive Setting” ( page 40) option
in the Version Information screen.
• DVDs can contain video-based and film-based material, which use different
frame rates. When playing video-based material using progressive scan, some
images may appear unnatural. If this occurs, set “Progressive” to “Off” and
view in standard interlace mode.
• When you set “Progressive” to “On”, “TV Type” ( page 29) is automatically
set to “16:9”.
On Select this option when the console is connected to a TV that
supports progressive scan (480p).*
Off Select this option when the console is connected to a standard TV.
