Additional information
Set to 4:3 (Pan&Scan), widescreen discs are
shown with the left and right sides cropped.
Although the picture looks larger, you don't
actually see the whole picture.
Please note that many widescreen discs over-
ride the player's settings so that the disc is
shown in letter box format regardless of the
setting.
• Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a stan-
dard 4:3 TV, or either of the 4:3 settings
with a widescreen TV, will result in a
distorted picture.

Setting the TV system

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

(MOD. PAL)

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. 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
STANDBY/
rolling.
On some TVs, the picture may shrink verti-
cally, leaving black bands at the top and
STANDBY/ON
bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunc-
tion; it is caused by the NTSC to PAL conver-
sion.
