PAL was adopted in European countries while NTSC is adopted in USA, Canada, Mexico and so forth.

If you have a PAL televsion, you have to set the TV Type op- tion to PAL. In this case, if a service you wish to watch is NTSC standard, the digital receiver converts it into PAL standard for your PAL television. However, its quality would somewhat fall. The opposite case brings about the same result.

The best thing is to watch PAL services with a PAL television and to watch NTSC services with a NTSC television. How- ever, the auto television is able to process both of them.
