To select the TV standard

DVD movies are produced in both PAL and NTSC television formats. The 596 DVD Player is capable of converting between formats, to allow you to view DVD movies in either format even if your television is not capable of displaying that format. However the conversion process introduces some picture degradation, and may disable disc menu operation on some discs.

●Highlight TV standard in the Video setup menu, and press Enter.

The TV standard menu is displayed:

Choose Auto if your television can display both PAL and NTSC video, or choose NTSC or PAL to match the format supported by your television.

If your television is capable of displaying both formats the recommended setting is Auto, which supplies the unconverted video signal to the television.

A separate Powerup std option lets you specify the standard to be selected when you bring the 596 out of standby:

●Press V or A to highlight the option you want, and press Enter.
