Panasonic DMR e60 ep no progressive out

[mammo1789]

Hi guys i became like you, psycho . Tonight i was at a bar with a friend drinking bear and i talked about some tape that i made on our forum, one guy approached me and sad that he has Panasonic dvd 960 that doesn't reads dvd's occasionally and heard me talking so do i know what could it be? I sad Panasonic never made 960 type dvd do you mean recorder? Yep the guy sad aha did you mean e60 I sad i think so he answered. Me although have enough equipment i became as I sad in the beginning, well if you don't wanted him i could buy it from you how much do you sell it well you could pay me my 3 beers ( around 8$) are you kidding nope ok went to his house got the dvd and bring it home. I didn't had high hopes but on my surprise everything worked perfect ( i did cleaned the lens and the black round thing that has rubber i forgot it name it was dirty and i know it can lead to problems put dvd ram dvd r recorded tv played mp3 jpegs from sd card all ok ) i used the scart connector it has 2 av1 and av2 all ok tested the dv input also ok ( only thing untested pc card ). And to my surprise there is no ypbr output on the back ( progressive output ), hm i know that this machine had to have one it is apparent also on the user manual ( pdf online ) us model. I was confused i had solid experience with hardware equipment but this was new the cover is ok nothing broken or anything so what mysterious model can this be, orseto ?
Also that bothers me is that there is no line nr( noise reduction ) input in the picture settings ( like on e55 and es15 and es10) i know the nr is transparent and is not doing anything but yet again i want to see it in the menu ( e60 is older or newer than e55 ?)

I see references to multiple models.

E60
E60S
E60EP

There also appears to be a US and UK version. And it wouldn't surprise me at all if there are differences between the models.
