Last night, I used component cables for the first time with my
low-end-but-Progressive-Scan Toshiba SD-3960 DVD player.
I can't figure out if the Toshiba is actually pumping out Progressive
Scan. The manual clearly shows what buttons to press on the remote, but
I don't see any change as I toggle--even though the player is stopped
at the time.
I'm wondering if it's perhaps typical for a DVD player to automatically
switch to Progressive Scan when used with component cables?
(Just had a thought: It may be possible to query the HDTV this is
connected to--to see if it says 480i or 480p.)
