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.
