standard 4:3 TV, or either of the 4:3 settings
with a widescreen TV, will result in a
distorted picture.
Setting the TV system
The default setting of this player 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 distor-
tion 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
(

ON to switch it to standby.

switch the TV system.

Note
• You have to switch the player into standby
(press STANDBY/ON ) before each
change.

on.

DVD-Video regions

case somewhere that indicates which
region(s) of the world the disc is compatible
with. Your DVD player also has a region mark,
which you can find on the rear panel. Discs
from incompatible regions will not play in this
player. Discs marked
ALL will play in any
player.
