A certain amount of softness can certainly be caused by shooting in Progressive mode - depending on the shutter you'll get more motion blur than shooting in interlaced mode. Make sure the shutter is on and set to 180° (1/48 for 24P, 1/60 for 30P).
Then, make sure that detail is turned on, of course. The primary setting for detail is the master detail setting (DETAIL1, then LEVEL). Raise this setting till you get a look you like. Of course there are other detail settings - but without an engineer present it's probably best to leave them at their defaults.
