Progess. scan pic not as sharp as interlaced-Why?

I have a Toshiba 65HDX82 rear projection tv(high def) & a Marantz 6200 DVD player w/progessive scan. When progess. scan is turned on in DVD menu, the picture is not as "sharp" as when prog. scan is turned off. I used a good component cable; the DVD player is switched to "component"; & is plugged into HD Component inputs on tv. I don't understand this. I thought prog. scan was a much better picture? I traded in a Marantz 3100 dvd player to get the 6200. I'm beginning to think I didn't have to do that. Help!! - Dave

There is also no way to turn off the internal line doubler on the Toshiba, not that you'd really want too?

Dave,

Nope you didn't need to upgrade players, a Non-Progressive Dvd Player would do just fine w/ your set! As long as it has component video out connections.

The line doubler 3/2 pull down in your Toshiba 65HDX82 rear projection tv(high def)is better than the DVD player. Running your player interlaced w/ component connections will aid for for a more filmlike smoother picture.

Your TV is already doing the work, running progressive on the player the 2 line doublers try to cancel one another out!

My cousin has the same Toshiba TV, along w/ a Toshiba SD-9200 DVD player. When watching "Armagedon" for example in progressive it tore Liz Tyler's face appart!!! Back to interlaced & she was once again easy on the eyes!

Nothing wrong, Toshiba's TV just has the upper hand!

Good luck :)~
