TV SYSTEM switch (except for U.S. and Canadian models)

Video output changes as follows according to the playback disc‘s recorded format.

NTSC = PAL, PAL = NTSC conversion is possible on Video CDs. PAL = NTSC conversion is not possible on DVDs. When the TV SYSTEM switch is set to the AUTO position, the disc’s format will be output as is. When a CD or disc is not loaded, the previous video output format will be selected.

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.

System Control Connections

Using a commercially available cord with a mini plug (3.5

mmdia. with no resistance) to connect this player’s CONTROL IN jack to the CONTROL OUT jack of another PIONEER component bearing the ë mark, you can control the player as though it were a component in a system (system control).

If you connect for system control, you cannot operate the player directly. Point the remote control unit at the component (AV amplifier, etc.) connected to the CONTROL OUT jack to operate.

When controlling as a system, be sure to make a connection to the amplifier using an audio or video cord, even when using only digital components.

For details, refer to the operation manuals of the connected components.
