Back Ground
• Default setting: Logo
This specifies what the screen shows when the
player is stopped.
Note
If Capture is selected, a picture taken in by
Capture is displayed. (page 29)
Screen Saver
• Default setting: On
If a constant image is displayed on a conventional
CRT-type TV, it can “burn in” leaving a ghost image
on the screen. Switch to On to make sure that a
constant image is not displayed for a dangerously
long time.
TV System
• Default setting: NTSC
The default setting of this player is NTSC,
and unless you notice that the picture is
distorted when playing some discs, you
should leave it set to NTSC.
If you experience picture distortion with
some discs, set the TV system to match your
country or region’s system. Doing this,
however, may restrict the kinds of disc you
can watch. The table below shows what
kinds of disc are compatible with each
setting (Multi, PAL and NTSC).
MOD. (Modulation) PAL
• Shrink
Most models of the newly developed count-
down PAL TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz
(NTSC) and automatically switch vertical
amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical
shrinkage.
• If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control,
you may not be able to view NTSC discs,
because the picture may roll. If the TV has a V-
Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops
rolling. On some TVs, the picture may shrink
vertically, leaving black bands at the top and
bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction;
it is caused by the NTSC to PAL conversion.
Note
•When the selected format is changed to a
different format from the TV format in which a
program was recorded, the picture may become
jerky and the upper and lower parts of the
screen may disappear. The above setting should
be specified to match the format of your own
TV.
• Changes can be made only in the Stop mode.
When RESUME is indicated on the display, put
the player in the Stop mode by repressing
7 (STOP) button.
