TV system setting

Key lock 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 find picture distortion with some discs, set the TV system to match your country or region’s system. However, this may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. See the table for the kinds of discs compatible with each setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC).2

•LOCK ON – Makes the front panel buttons and controls inoperative.

•LOCK OFF – Restores regular use of the front panel buttons and controls.

Note

1 The setup menu is exited automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity.

2Most models of the newly developed countdown 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.

3 You have to switch the player into standby (press  STANDBY/ON) before each change.
