Watching NTSC on a PAL TV (MOD. PAL)

Most models of the newly developed count- down PAL TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical shrinkage. However, in some cases, the image may appear without color.

If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be able to watch NTSC discs because of picture roll. If the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling.

On some TVs, the picture may shrink verti- cally, leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunc- tion; it is caused by the NTSC to PAL conver- sion.
