The progressive output has a higher '?frequency?'. Does your TV support 480p? Normal TVs are like 480i, and the "bandwith" of a progressive signal is higher. (I am a moron here, so please don't crush me for my shortcomings in the technical areas I'm just trying to get to an answer for this guy) HDTV is like 1080i. So in my muddled way I am asking: DOES your TV support 480p signals?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you read your TV's owner manual and the TV stats don't say anything about 480p or 1080i or "HDTV ready" or anything like that, you just CANNOT use the progressive output, period. The TV must have the ability to accept the higher rate signal for the progressive to work.
++++++++ If your TV CAN support 480p or 1080i... I don't know why it's not working for you???

You could just say, "do you have an HDTV connected to your player?"
;)
Normal TVs accept an interlaced NTSC (or PAL abroad) signal whereas HDTV's can accept that (480i/NTSC) as well as 480P, 720P and 1080i. S-Video and composite connections only support the NTSC (480i) signal whereas component may or may not support the higher resolution signals depending on the set being used.

  An H.D.T.V. ready set does not insure 480p capability. I have a 64"
  H.D.T.V.ready Sharp and it can't display the 480p out of my Toshiba Sd9200.

    I didn't realize that some HDTV's can't input 480p. What makes it HDTV? Is it only capable of 480p via the internal line doubler? What happens when you hook it up with the Toshiba? Is the connection via component video?

      Greg,
      The Sharp was among the first generation displays and although it displays 1080I very nicely it does not accept 480P. When using the Toshiba I use it in interlaced mode and the picture is wonderful.
      I bought the Toshiba mainly for the dvd-a experience.
