TV-System

The SADV 1245 R is compatible with both NTSC and
with PAL video monitors.
PAL
Use this setting, if the picture shall be displayed on a PAL
TV. DVDs in NTSC format are converted to PAL by the
SADV 1245 R and output in standard PAL video mode.
NTSC
Use this setting, if the picture shall be displayed on a
NTSC TV. DVDs in PAL format are converted to NTSC
by the SADV 1245 R and output in standard NTSC video
mode.
AUTO
If you select this setting, the SADV 1245 R will not
convert signals between PAL and NTSC. All video
signals will be output in exactly the format in which they
are stored on the disc. Using this setting your TV must be
compatible to the video standard of the disc which you
want to play back.
We recommend this setting, if you use a multi standard
TV set, which automatically detects the video standard
and processes viodeo signals accordingly.
Note:
Picture distortions can occur when switching between
NTSC and PAL.
