discs are shown with the left and right
sides cropped. Although the picture
looks larger, you don't actually see
the whole picture.

TV system setting

Not applicable to Taiwanese model
The default setting of this system is AUTO, and
unless you notice that the picture is distorted
when playing some discs, you should leave it
set to AUTO. If you find picture distortion with
some discs, set the TV system to match your
country or region's system. However, this may
restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. See
the table for the kinds of discs compatible with
each setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC).
1 Switch the unit into standby, then press
SETUP.
Use / to choose TV SYS then press
2
ENTER.
The TV system changes as follows:
• AUTO  NTSC
• NTSC  PAL
• PAL  AUTO
Note
1 • Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or one of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in distortion.
• When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format, you can use the TV controls to select how the picture is presented. Your TV
may offer various zoom and stretch options; see the instructions that came with your TV for details.
• Some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even with a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a 'letterbox' style.
2 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. However, in some cases, the image may appear without
color. 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.
3 You have to switch the player into standby (press  STANDBY/ON) before each change.
