PORTABLE DVD PLAYER USER GUIDE
Your JD-TV108 is capable of playing DVD discs and having their content viewed on the unit's LCD display,
as well as on an external TV. While your JD-TV108 is primarily intended to play NTSC DVDs, it can also play
PAL DVDs (NTSC and PAL are video formats); refer to the Quick Guide and to the following information:
n Connecting to a Multi-TV System (external) monitor (capable of viewing NTSC and PAL)
n Connecting to an NTSC TV
n Connecting to the PAL TV
Selecting the Type of Disc for the Type of TV Connected
To View NTSC DVDs on a Multi-TV System Monitor:
1. In the VIDEO SETUP menu (see page 32), be sure the
"TV SYSTEM" entry is set for NTSC (the default).
2. Be sure the Multi-TV System (external) Monitor is set
to receive NTSC video signals.
3. The video content being played will appear on both the
JD-TV108's LCD and on the external monitor.
To View PAL DVDs on a Multi-TV System Monitor:
1. In the VIDEO SETUP menu (see page 32), be sure the
"TV SYSTEM" entry is set for PAL.
2. Be sure the Multi-TV System (external) Monitor is set
to receive PAL video signals.
3. The video content being played will appear on both the
JD-TV108's LCD and on the external monitor, but
because the unit's LCD cannot display PAL video directly,
it will appear without color content. The external monitor
will display the PAL content in color. See the NOTE below.
To View NTSC DVDs on an NTSC TV Monitor:
1. In the VIDEO SETUP menu (see page 32), be sure the
"TV SYSTEM" entry is set for NTSC (the default).
2. Be sure the NTSC Monitor is ready to receive NTSC video
signals.
3. The video content being played will appear on both the
JD-TV108's LCD and on the external monitor.
To View PAL DVDs on a PAL TV Monitor:
1. In the VIDEO SETUP menu (see page 32), be sure the
"TV SYSTEM" entry is set for PAL.
2. Be sure the PAL Monitor is set to receive PAL video
signals.
3. The video content being played will appear without color
on JD-TV108's LCD. The external monitor will display the
PAL content in color. See the NOTE below.
NOTE:
When viewing a PAL DVD on the unit's LCD display (without
an external monitor), you must set the VIDEO SETUP menu's
"TV SYSTEM" entry to NTSC (not PAL; see page 32).
In order for PAL video content to appear in color on the unit's
LCD display, it must first be converted to NTSC. As already
stated, PAL signals can appear in color on a PAL external
monitor when the "TV SYSTEM" is set to PAL, but the same
content will then appear in "black and white" on the LCD.
