9. SETTING THE DISPLAY SYSTEM
The default setting of this player is AUTO, and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you
should leave it set to AUTO. If you experience picture distortion with some discs, set the TV/Display/Projection system to match
your country or region's system. Doing this, however, may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. The table below shows what
kinds of disc are compatible with each setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC).
1 - If the player is not plugged in, plug it in now, but leave it on standby.
2 - Using the front panel controls, hold down "Forward" then press STANDBY to switch the TV system.
The TV system changes as follows:
AUTO => NTSC
NTSC => PAL
PAL => AUTO
The player's display shows the new setting.
Note: You have to switch the player into standby (press STANDBY) before each change.

Watching NTSC on a PAL TV/Display
Most models of the countdown PAL TV system detect 50 Hz
(PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical shrinkage.
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. This is not a
malfunction; it is caused by the NTSC to PAL conversion.
