Setting the TV System
DV-S969AVi only
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 distor-
tion 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 If the player is not plugged in, plug it
in now, but leave it in standby.
2 Using the front panel controls, hold
down
then press
STANDBY/ON
to switch the TV system.
The TV system changes as follows:
AUTO
NTSC
NTSC
PAL
PAL
AUTO
The player’s display indicates the new setting.
• You have to switch the player into standby
(press
STANDBY/ON
) before each
change.
• If you’re watching an NTSC disc on a PAL
TV, you will only be able to see interlace
video. Progressive scan video is not
compatible with the
MOD.PAL
setting.
Watching NTSC on a PAL TV
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 watch NTSC discs
because of picture roll. If the TV has a V-Hold
control, adjust it until the picture stops
rolling.
On some TVs, the picture may shrink verti-
cally, leaving black bands at the top and
bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunc-
tion; it is caused by the NTSC to PAL conver-
sion.
