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
(AUTO, PAL and NTSC).
1 If the player is on, press
ON to switch it to standby.
2 Using the front panel controls, hold
down then press
switch the TV system.
The TV system changes as follows:
• AUTO NTSC
• NTSC PAL
• PAL AUTO
Note
• You have to switch the player into standby
(press STANDBY/ON) before each
change.

DVD-Video regions

All DVD-Video discs carry a region mark on the
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.
The diagram below shows the various DVD
regions of the world.
