RDV-1 Progressive scan problem...

[mthecatlover]

Goodevening everyone,

I am new on this forum with a question about the rdv-1.
In the progessive scan mode the subtitles are blurred and not sharp.
There are horizontal lines over the letters. And they flicker.
In Interlaced mode is everything alright.
What is the problem?
Is it in the setup?
Glad to hear from anyone.
Greetings, Marc

Welcome to HT Guide Forum and Club Integra. Thank you for posting your question here.

Now a few questions for you.

1) Is your RDV-1 connected to a progressive-scan-capable TV display via component cables? That is a requirement for the RDV-1's progressive scan output to work properly.

2) Have you selected "Auto" for "Progressive Conversion" in Setup? If you have selected "Video" or "Film" and then play the other, it is quite possible to get some strange effects, especially on text output.

3) Do you have "Edge Enhance" turned "Off" for the Progressive memory you are using? That should be off anyway, because it can wreak havoc on an otherwise OK picture, and its bad effects would be especially noticeable on text output.

If none of those troubleshooting tips are applicable to your situation -- you have already got component cables connected, Progressive Setup is already "Auto" and "Edge Enhance" is "off" and the subtitle problem is still what you described -- then let's hope interlaced give you a nice picture while we try to come up with some other suggestions on things to try. :>)

RDV-1 Progressive scan problems.

Good afternoon Burke.

Thanks for your reply.

I read your options that you discribed, but they were already right adjusted.
The tv is a plasma Panasonic. Progressive scan, component, hdmi.
So the tv is not the problem.
If I switch the rdv-1 to interlaced, the subtitles are alright. Very strange!!
There is also a beamer connected to the rdv-1. Same problems here with the
subtitles.
First I thougt the interscaler of the beamer was the problem (Faroudja),
but on both the beamer and the plasma the subtitles are not good. (Progressive Scan modus).
Is it possible that the component connections on the rear of the rdv-1, the connections with the rca interlinks, may not be connected together?
I mean one for the beamer one for the plasma?
I do not watch the two connections at the same time....
The bnc connections are not in use.
I have the two other components from Integra RDA-7 and RDC-7.
Never heard a sound so clear and so smooth as on these three machines.
All speakers are Klipsch 7.1 connected.
Hope there is a solution for my problem,
