■ Setting the TV System (except for USA and
Canadian models)
The default setting of this player is AUTO, and unless you notice that
the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it
set to AUTO.
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
(AUTO, PAL and NTSC).
1 Switch the player into standby.
2 Hold down ¢ then press STANDBY/ON until the display
indicates the new setting to switch the TV system.
The TV system changes as follows:
AUTO = NTSC
NTSC = PAL
PAL = AUTO
Note that you have to switch the player into standby before each
change.
About MOD. (Modulation) PAL
• SHRINK
Most models of the newly developed countdown 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 disc 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 = PAL conversion.
