unless you notice that the picture is distorted
when playing some discs, you should leave it

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
(

switches off automatically. However, if you
unplug the system from the wall outlet, the

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 vertically,
leaving black bands at the top and bottom of
the screen. This is not a malfunction; it is
caused by the NTSC to PAL conversion.
