TV TYPE
TV Type allows you to set your TV's video format.
NTSC & PAL Video Standards
There are differences in discs for the NTSC and the PAL
TV systems. The MPEG video on a DVD disk is stored in a
digital format. It is formatted for one of two mutually
incompatible television systems, either as NTSC or as
PAL/SECAM. Therefore, there are two kinds of DVDs
available, either NTSC DVDs or PAL DVDs. Some players
only play NTSC discs; others play PAL and NTSC discs.
North America, Japan, Korea, the Philippines and parts of South America use the NTSC
format for video. The rest of the world mostly uses the PAL video format. There are two
ways to watch both PAL and NTSC DVDs. You can either view your DVDs on a multi-system
TV display or video projector or you can choose an NTSC/PAL or PAL/NTSC capable DVD
Player. The Cinema DVD 7 is capable of playing either PAL or NTSC format DVD disks. If you
are a movie collector who loves foreign films, the DVD 7 will play your entire collection.
NTSC (Factory default)
Select this when your TV's video format is NTSC. If NTSC is selected, output format is fixed
to NTSC.
PAL
Select this when your TV's video format is PAL. If PAL is selected, output format is fixed to
PAL.
MULTI
Select this when your TV is compatible with both the NTSC and PAL formats. NTSC signals
are output from the video output jacks when discs recorded in NTSC format are played, and
PAL signals are output from the video output jacks when discs recorded in PAL format are
played. Many plasma and LCD based video displays are compatible with this setting.
