About the frame/field frequency and NTSC/
PAL TV systems

By factory default setting, the frame/field frequency is set for an
output of 50 Hz, and the video signal output from the

S-VIDEO and

VIDEO output terminals is set to be output in the PAL TV system
format. When sources with a frame/field frequency of 60 Hz or
24 Hz are played, the output frame/field frequency automatically
switches to 60 Hz (or 24 Hz for HDMI, depending on the setting), and
the TV system format for the video signal output from the

S-VIDEO

and

VIDEO output terminals is set to NTSC on PAL TV. When

playback is stopped, the frame/field frequency and TV system
settings remain at the settings last used. The frame/field frequency
and TV system settings do not change even when the power is
turned off. They only switch when a video material with a different
frame/field frequency is played.

If the picture is not displayed on the TV when a source with a
different frame/field frequency is played, use the procedure below to
switch the frame/field frequency and TV system settings for the
signal output from the player.

Eject the disc, then press the

OPEN/CLOSE button on the front

panel while pressing the

 button to switch to a different frame/field

frequency. The frame/field frequency switches between 50 Hz and
60 Hz each time this operation is performed. The indicator for the
frame frequency’s current setting lights on the front panel display
(page 12).
