Selecting the Type of Disc for the Type of TV Connected

Your JD-TV108 is capable of playing DVD discs and having their content viewed on the unit's LCD display, as well as on an external TV. While your JD-TV108 is primarily intended to play NTSC DVDs, it can also play PAL DVDs (NTSC and PAL are video formats); refer to the Quick Guide and to the following information:

n Connecting to a Multi-TV System (external) monitor (capable of viewing NTSC and PAL)

n Connecting to an NTSC TV

n Connecting to the PAL TV

To View NTSC DVDs on a Multi-TV System Monitor:

1.In the VIDEO SETUP menu (see page 32), be sure the "TV SYSTEM" entry is set for NTSC (the default).

2.Be sure the Multi-TV System (external) Monitor is set to receive NTSC video signals.

3.The video content being played will appear on both the JD-TV108's LCD and on the external monitor.

To View PAL DVDs on a Multi-TV System Monitor:

1.In the VIDEO SETUP menu (see page 32), be sure the "TV SYSTEM" entry is set for PAL.

2.Be sure the Multi-TV System (external) Monitor is set to receive PAL video signals.

3.The video content being played will appear on both the JD-TV108's LCD and on the external monitor, but because the unit's LCD cannot display PAL video directly, it will appear without color content. The external monitor will display the PAL content in color. See the NOTE below.

To View NTSC DVDs on an NTSC TV Monitor:

1.In the VIDEO SETUP menu (see page 32), be sure the "TV SYSTEM" entry is set for NTSC (the default).

2.Be sure the NTSC Monitor is ready to receive NTSC video signals.

3.The video content being played will appear on both the JD-TV108's LCD and on the external monitor.

To View PAL DVDs on a PAL TV Monitor:

1.In the VIDEO SETUP menu (see page 32), be sure the "TV SYSTEM" entry is set for PAL.

2.Be sure the PAL Monitor is set to receive PAL video signals.

3.The video content being played will appear without color on JD-TV108's LCD. The external monitor will display the PAL content in color. See the NOTE below.

NOTE:

When viewing a PAL DVD on the unit's LCD display (without an external monitor), you must set the VIDEO SETUP menu's "TV SYSTEM" entry to NTSC (not PAL; see page 32).

In order for PAL video content to appear in color on the unit's LCD display, it must first be converted to NTSC. As already stated, PAL signals can appear in color on a PAL external monitor when the "TV SYSTEM" is set to PAL, but the same content will then appear in "black and white" on the LCD.
