720p on Pioneer 436XDE ???

[Bacus]

Can anybody explain this for me........I have the Pioneer 436XDE and when playing my DVD films through upscaling dvd player, dvd player set to 720p but the pioneer screen (top right hand corner of screen) says 750p ?? Why is it not saying 720p and is it actually showing the film in true 720p ??

720 is the actual visual content, but you have extra lines that are used in normal broadcasting for teletext, these unused lines are still presetn and make it up to 750 lines.

So everything is working ok then ? I am getting an upscaled image of 720p then ?

Yes, you are. I get exactly the same on my PDP435FDE.
