TV Type Setting
(Multi/NTSC/PAL)
If you live in North America your TV broadcast system is
NTSC, your TV set is either a NTSC TV or a multi system
TV, and the DVD movies you buy or rent will be labeled
NTSC system. The initial Default TV Type setting of this
system is NTSC. This setting will allow NTSC discs to
play properly on NTSC TVs. If you live in North America no
further adjustment is necessary. You can skip to the next
section.
If you wish to change the TV Type setting follow the
3 steps below.
1. Press SETUP button to enter SETUP MENU.
Use 5/6 to select GENERAL SETUP (see page 31),
and then press ENTER button.
2. Highlight TV TYPE using 5/6, then press 4 button
to go to the right option list. Select NTSC or PAL
using 5/6, then press ENTER to confirm your
selection.
3. Press SETUP again to exit SETUP MENU.
Note:
When the power is switched off, or the disc drawer is
opened, the TV type will automatically revert back to
the initial Default setting.
