You have to configure the video and audio settings appropriately to your television set and other appliances.

Select the System Setting > A/V Output Setting menu. You should see a screen like the left figure.

3.2.1 Television standard

The digital receiver supports two television standards. One is PAL standard, and the other is NTSC standard. PAL was adopted in European countries while NTSC is adopted in USA, Canada, Mexico and so forth. Refer to Table 3.1 for television standard of your local area.

If you have a PAL television, you have to set the TV Type option to PAL. In that case, if you switch to a service of the NTSC standard, the digital receiver will presents the pictures converting into the PAL standard. However, it is inevitable to lose a little picture quality. Likewise, the contrary 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. However, a multi television set is able to process both of them. So if you have a multi television set, you had better set the TV Type option to Multi. Then the digital receiver will present pictures without standard conversion.
