Progressive over Scart...

[Phill_1981]

I have a new Sony DVP-NS955 DVD player and a new Phillips 32PF9986 LCD TV - what I would like to know is can I get a progreesive signal from my DVD player to the TV through a scart as the manuals really dont explain anything and im a complete newbie to progressive!

I have purchased a couple of good scart leads at a cost of £35 each for my freeview and DVD player. So if progressive cannot go throught the scart will I really notice the difference between RGB and progressive?

Cheers for any info guys!

Progressive is only through component I'm afraid.

Thanks for the promt reply Tejstar, is this the same with all players or just the Sony?

Regarding the difference between RGB & progressive, consensus seems to say that progressive is better but by not a huge margin. With my setup, the difference is minute but it is there. It can be difficult to tell the difference on normal images, I tested the difference by rolling some credits from a DVD and checking the ‘jaggies’ on the text. By flicking between the 2 I felt that progressive definitely had the edge.

It is with all dvd players I'm afriad, if you want progressive you'll have to get a player with component outputs.

also make sure your TV is prog scan compatible (with components connections).

Yep sorry, forgot to mention that. Without a progressive compatible tv you won't reap the benefits.
