Televsion Standard; Television Aspect Ratio - Topfield TF 4000 Fi User Manual

3.2.1 Televsion standard

The digital receiver supports two types of television standard.
One is PAL (Phase Alternating Line) standard, and the other
is NTSC (National Television Standards Commitee) standard.
PAL was adopted in European countries while NTSC is adopted
in USA, Canada, Mexico and so forth.
If you have a PAL televsion, you have to set the TV Type op-
tion to PAL. In this case, if a service you wish to watch is NTSC
standard, the digital receiver converts it into PAL standard for
your PAL television. However, its quality would somewhat
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, the auto television is able to process both of them. So if
you have an auto television, 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 stadard television you have.

3.2.2 Television aspect ratio

If you have a wide-screen television, set the TV Aspect Ratio
option to 16:9.
You can enjoy well both wide-screen programs and normal-
screen programs with your wide-screen television as the above
figures show. The left figure shows a wide picture displayed
in the wide screen, and the right figure shows a normal picture
