TV Type (NTSC/PAL)

DVDs are recorded according to a Color System, the most common of which are NTSC and PAL. NTSC is the most common in the United States. Your TV also operates according to a Color System.

This Player is compatible with NTSC and PAL. However, in order for a DVD to play on this Player, the Color System of the DVD, the TV, and the Player should match. If all three are not the same, the DVD may play in only black and white, the picture may roll continuously, or the picture may appear distorted.
