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 distortion 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).

About MOD. (Modulation) PAL
• 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.

Using the Setup Navigator

The Setup Navigator has been designed to simplify the
process of getting the DVD player ready to perform.
Designed as a series of on-screen multiple-choice
questions, the Setup Navigator automatically sets the
audio, video, and language settings according to how
the questions are answered. Once this procedure is
complete, it will be possible to begin using the DVD
player to enjoy DVDs.
The procedure on this page describes the operations
necessary to function within the Setup Navigator
screens. A detailed description of the contents of each
question that appears on the screen can be found on
the following pages.
When setting up for the first time
Some DVDs start playing automatically when loaded in
the player. Because the Setup Navigator cannot be
used if a disc is playing, it is recommended to set up
the player using the Setup Navigator before loading a
DVD for the first time. If a DVD has been loaded, be
sure to press STOP 7 before proceeding.
