TV system setting

Not applicable to Taiwanese model

restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. See

Note
1 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. However, in some cases, the image may appear without color.
If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be able to watch NTSC discs because of picture 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.
2 You have to switch the player into standby (press  STANDBY/ON) before each change.
