S-Video and Progressive Scan
I just bought a Standalone DVD Recorder. The instructions state that for progressive scan use that a component video cable must be used. Does that mean that an S-Vdeo cable or RCA jacks will not support progressive scan?

You'll just get a normal video signal versus the progressive scan signal through the S-Video and RCA cables. BTW... if your TV supports component video, then you can probably get some good cheap component video cables from Wal-Mart. That's where I bought mine and so far they work great.

Thanks, DarkFury...I learned something today. I hooked up a DVD plaver several years ago for a friend and I don't believe I used a component video cable.

If you want to get some very good cable that isn't too expensive, go to cables.musicianassist.com/ Vince Maskeeper builds cables in bulk 2 times per year and sells them at minimum cost above materials. The group buy takes a little bit, but the cables he produces are top notch, Apex recommended me to him. His group purchase is now open. LK |

Let it be known that neither SVideo nor RCA will support progressive...
Also note that normal TVs dont support progressive either... That being said, I have an extra component cable (pretty nice) if you want it... You can have it on the cheap, just IM me.

Now does this mean that if a TV has component video, that it also does progressive scan?
