When set to On, NTSC discs (from the U.S., for example)

will play correctly on a PAL-only TV.1 Change to Off if your TV is already NTSC-compatible.

Set to Compression if the audio level from the built-in tuner is excessively high causing distortion.

Note

1 Many recent PAL TVs are capable of correctly displaying NTSC pictures without the need for this setting. Check the manual that came with your TV if you’re not sure whether yours has this feature.
