When set to On, NTSC discs (from the U.S., for example)
will play correctly on a PAL-only TV. Change to Off if your
TV is already NTSC-compatible.
Depending on this setting and the Input Line System
setting (see Input Line System on page 76), the signal
format output when the recorder is stopped varies as
shown in the table below.

displaying NTSC pictures without the need for this
setting. Check the manual that came with your TV if
you're not sure whether yours has this feature.

If the external source is standard stereo, leave set to
Stereo. If each channel carries a separate soundtrack,
change to Bilingual.
When the external audio is from the DV input, an audio
subcode channel within the DV audio tells the recorder
whether the audio is stereo or bilingual. This has priority
over the setting you make here.
