Connection to a TV

Excerpt from the new DVD player installation directions:

"With the unit in Stop mode, set the Alt video output to Component: Progressive in the Display Setup menu or press the PROGRESSIVE button on the remote control. The Progressive Scan mode prompt screen appears. Then press ENTER and progressive video will be output. Press the input selector on your TV remote control until the Component signal from the DVD-VCR appears on your TV screen."

So, I pressed the progressive button and nothing happened.

Who cares about DVD players anyway?
