Setting the TV system

The default setting of this player 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”).

DVD-Video regions

All DVD-Video discs carry a region mark on the case somewhere that indicates which region(s) of the world the disc is compatible with. Your DVD player also has a region mark, which you can find on the rear panel. Discs from incompatible regions will not play in this player.

Discs marked “ALL” will play in any player.
