Changing the Color Television Format

Color television formats are modes by which television video signals are sent and received. To send signals between the notebook and a television, both the notebook and the television must be using the same color television format.

The NTSC format is common in the United States, Canada, Japan, and South Korea. The PAL format is common in Europe, China, Russia, and Africa, and the PAL-M format is common in Brazil. Other South American and Central American countries may use NTSC, PAL, or PAL-M.

Region-specific formats are set at the factory for most notebooks, but the region setting can be changed on any notebook.

Color television format settings are changed in the Setup utility. The Setup utility is not a Windows utility and does not support the TouchPad. For information about using the Setup utility, see the “Using the Setup Utility” section in Chapter 9.
