Progressive TV required ??

Hello everyone,

I just purchased a Sony DVP-NS52P, mail-order. Wondering what the "P"
meant, I read the box to conclude that it is the "P" of "Progressive
Scan", which as I understand means higher resolution, hence better
quality. However, on the box there is also a note saying "Progressive
TV or Projector Required". Does this mean that this player will not
work with my conventional TV (an older Sony), or does it only mean that
I need a Progressive TV to get the "better" image quality, and that the
DVD player will function just fine at normal resolution with a "normal"
TV ?

As you probably have concluded, I am a complete newby in the DVD world,
and very much frustrated from what I have read on the box

Many thanks in advance for your replies

Best,
-arifi

Just about every dvd player sold today has progressive scan, nothing new
there. Just hook it up to your tv and enjoy.

You should be able to turn Prog Scan on or off via the menu of the DVD
player.

Thats exactly what it means....when you get a better tv capable of
progressive scan, you'll get an improved picture...but in the meantime it
will work fine on your standard tv...
