3.2.1 Television standard

The digital receiver supports two types of television standard.
One is the PAL standard, and the other is the NTSC stan-
dard. PAL was adopted in European countries while NTSC
is adopted in USA, Canada, Mexico and so forth. Refer to
Table 3.1 for television standard of your local area.
If you have a PAL television, you have to set the TV Type op-
tion to PAL. In this case, if a service is broadcasted in NTSC
standard, the digital receiver converts it into the PAL standard
for your PAL television. However, its quality would some-
what fall. The opposite case brings about the same result.
The best thing is to watch PAL services with a PAL television
and to watch NTSC services with a NTSC television. How-
ever, a multi television set is able to process both of them. So if
you have a multi television set, set the TV Type option to Multi.
With this option, the digital receiver will output them without
standard conversion. This setting is most recommended espe-
cially if you are not sure what standard type you have.
You have to configure the video
and audio settings appropri-
ately to your television set and
appliances.
Select the System Setting
A/V Output Setting menu. You
should see a screen like the left
