TV Type (NTSC/PAL)

DVDs are recorded according to a Color System, the most common of
which are NTSC and PAL. NTSC is the most common in the United
States. Your TV also operates according to a Color System.
This Player is compatible with NTSC and PAL. However, in order for a
DVD to play on this Player, the Color System of the DVD, the TV, and
the Player should match. If all three are not the same, the DVD may play
in only black and white, the picture may roll continuously, or the picture
may appear distorted.
The TV TYPE feature allows you to set the Player to match the Color
Systems of your DVD and your TV.
The simplest way to change the TV Type or Color System is to press
