NTSC/PAL Settings

You can switch the NTSC/PAL setting of the DVD Player to match the color system of your TV. Most TVs in the United States use the NTSC color system.

To change the DVD Player’s NTSC/PAL setting, follow the steps below. Read through all the steps first to become familiar with the process.
