•If the color system of your TV is PAL:
Set the COLOR SYSTEM switch to PAL. Pictures will not be displayed if you set the switch to NTSC. When you play a VIDEO CD based on NTSC system, the picture will be stretched horizontally and will be displayed with the upper and lower parts of the screen masked in black.
