TV SYSTEM switch
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.
