Also, the picture quality is a little soft, and the remote and navigation menus are not set up too well. I have found the overall opinion on this player to be OK for the price, but may have some reliability issues.

For the price, go buy a different progressive player thats better, off of ebay. __________________ Owner of a RCA 36' HDTV D36120

DVD players don't have a 720P mode. The best they can do with progressive scan is 480P. There is probably a switch on the back or a menu item, or both to enable progressive or interlaced modes.
