Getting Started

Setting the TV 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 distor- tion with some discs, set the TV 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).

1If the player is not plugged in, plug it in now, but leave it in standby.

2Using the front panel controls, hold

down then press POWER to switch the TV system.

The TV system changes as follows:

AUTO NTSC

NTSC PAL

PAL AUTO

The player’s display indicates the new setting.

• You have to switch the player into standby (press on the remote) before each change.

•If you’re watching an NTSC disc on a PAL TV, you will only be able to see interlace video. Progressive scan video is not compatible with the MOD.PAL setting.

Watching NTSC on a PAL TV

Most models of the newly developed count- down 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 verti- cally, leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunc- tion; it is caused by the NTSC to PAL conver- sion.

Switching on

After making sure that everything is connected properly and that the player is plugged in, press POWER to switch the player on.

Also, switch on your TV and make sure that it is set to the input you connected the DVD player to.
