• 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.
