■Setting the TV System

The default setting of the DVD Receiver 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).

About MOD. (Modulation) PAL

•SHRINK

Most 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.

•If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be able to view NTSC disc because the picture may 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 = PAL conversion.

■Turning the unit on/off with the TV’s power switch — IPM function

The DVD Receiver is equipped with the (IPM) system.

Just turn on your TV’s power switch and, in about 5 seconds, the DVD Receiver turns on automatically. If you turn off the TV’s power switch, IPM indicator flashes on the display and the DVD Receiver automatically turns off in about 5 minutes.

To activate the IPM function

1Connect the audio output of your TV’s audio output to the DVD Receiver’s TV/LINE IN L/R jacks (refer to pages 18 and 19).

Even when connected with SCART cable, audio connection to TV/LINE IN L/R jacks is needed (European model).

2Press IPM on the remote controller repeatedly to turn on the IPM indicator on the unit.
