TV format setting

The default setting of this system 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 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).

Watching NTSC on a PAL TV (MOD. PAL)

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. 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. This is not a malfunction; it is caused by the NTSC to PAL conversion.

Resetting the system

Use this procedure to reset all system settings to the factory default.

1	Switch the system into standby.
2	Press and hold the front panel (stop)
button for about 8 seconds until the
display shows ‘Mem.Clr.?’.
3	Press the front panel	button.

All the system’s settings are now reset, and you should see the ‘Let’s Get Started’ screen.
