Progressive and interlaced, hope i didn't ge ripped off

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Just received my new prog scan dvd player and when I hooked it up....YUK! Svideo, standard video and comp video all had the same crappy picture into my tv. The resolution was terrible, identical to a computer that goes into safe mode and half the colors disappear along with a fuzzy edge to everything. I went into the settings and changed the output from interlaced to progressive and it was fixed. My tv is not HD though, so shouldn't it have looked fine with it set to interlaced? I also thought it said that prog scan would only be noticable through the component output but the picture changed in the standard video connection too. Almost wonder if the progressive scan setting IS just interlaced and maybe they have some other crappy resolution under the interlaced setting just so you think you're getting more by setting it to progressive. Wouldn't THAT be a scam....Anybody notice something like this? My other two non-progressive players(also Onkyo) were fine with all the outputs into the same televisions.
