Setting the TV format
• Default setting: AUTO
The default setting of this system is AUTO ,
and unless you notice that the picture is
distorted when playing some discs, you
should leave it set to
AUTO . If you experience
picture distortion with some discs, set the TV
system to match your country or region’s
system. Doing this, however, may restrict the
kinds of disc you can watch. The table below
shows what kinds of disc are compatible with
each setting (
AUTO , PAL and NTSC ).
1 Switch the system into standby.
2 Press SYSTEM SETUP.
3 Use the / (cursor left/right)
buttons to select ‘TV System?’, then press
ENTER.
4 Use the / (cursor up/down)
buttons to select Auto, PAL or NTSC, then
press ENTER to confirm.
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.
Resetting the system
Use this procedure to reset all system
settings (except for station memory) to the
factory default.
1 Switch the system into standby.
2 Press and hold the top panel (Stop)
button for about 8 seconds until the
display shows ‘Mem.Clr.?’.
3 Press the top panel button.
The system’s settings are now reset, and you
should see the ‘Welcome to Pioneer DVD !’
screen.
Dimming the display
