Setting the TV System
(European model 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).

Watching NTSC on a PAL TV
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 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 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.
