    Best Progressive Mode for Denon DVD-3910

    I recently purchased a Denon 3910 DVD player and I'm struggling to determine the best progressive mode (Auto1, Auto2 or Vidoe1/2/3). It's best scores on the Secrets of Home Theater shoot out were on Auto2.

    However, I don't know how to tell when the DVD I'm planying is Film-Based, 30-Frame Film-Based or Video based material to make the decision.

    Thoughts??

      Just a guess....but most movies are 24 fps film based with the supplements often being video based.

      TV shows in NorthAmerica would be 30 frame film based.

      Variety and Music concerts would probably be video based

      Mind you this is a guess. You could use a tool like DVDProfiler to help zero in on the DVD's specs:

      Invelos Software's DVD Profiler - DVD Collection Software for the DVD and Blu-ray Enthusiast

      and this is probably your best option.

          The 3910 has a flag on the display "F" or "V" it is on the lower left hand side, although it can get confused on some DVD's where the flag is not set correctly.

              by Chris D
              I just got a new Denon DVD-3910. There's parts of it that I really like, but I'm having some problems. I know that several people here on the Guide own the 3910, so I thought you could help out. Several things--

              Denon DVD-3910: multi-region?
              by nyny
              Greetings! Does anyone know where I can buy an U.S. version multi-region enabled Denon DVD-3910? I saw a few U.K. sites selling European version multi-region enabled 3910 but I am not sure if there are any U.S. version.

              I read that there is a firmware update that will convert the 3910...

              by Chris D
              Hi, all-

              I need help in choosing my new DVD player now. After a lot of research, etc, it really comes down to these two models--Denon 2910, or Denon 3910. The 3910 is the higher-end model, but I'm trying to decide if the extra $500 or so cost is really justified for me. Hopefully those...

              RSP 1098 and progressive scan dvd/dvd audio players
              by Henk
              The RSP 1098 TFT screen displays no video unless a usable signal is passed through the composite video connection. However, as pointed out in the RSP 1098 manual not all dvd players, set in progressive mode, output a usable composite video signal. This is true also for dvd players that play dvd audio....

              by chanlon
              Hello,
