PAL

 

PAL is always used as the video standard. Note that 
NTSC titles are converted to PAL, but this may cause 
some reduction in smoothness of movement. Better 
results may be obtained using AUTO; however your 
TV must then support NTSC.

PAL60

 This 

is 

‘60Hz PAL’. This setting may allow NTSC titles 

to be played on certain PAL TVs that do not support 
NTSC.

PAL-M

 

A variation of PAL that is used in Brazil

PAL-N

 

A variation of PAL that is used in Argentina, Paraguay 
and Uruguay.

Black setup (pedestal)

This setting controls the ‘pedestal’ signal or black level when 
the NTSC video standard is used. Note that it does not affect 
PAL video in any way.

0 IRE

 

This removes the pedestal from NTSC video. This 
setting should be used in Japan, and also if you are 
using RGB video, whatever the country.

7.5 IRE

  This is the standard pedestal level that should be 

used in all countries that use NTSC video, with the 
exception of Japan.

Dig out (Digital output)

This needs to be set correctly if you are using an external audio 
decoder, receiver or D-A converter. 

‘Bitstream’

The DVD player outputs several different types of audio signal. 
The ‘Bitstream’ setting supports the following audio standards:

 

  2 channel PCM (on CDs or DVDs)

 

 Dolby 

Digital

 

  MPEG multi channel

 

  DTS multi channel

Use the Bitstream setting if you have an external decoder that 
supports Dolby Digital.

‘Stereo PCM’

All audio material played is down-mixed to stereo and output 
as stereo PCM. Use this setting if you have an external D-A 
converter that only supports 2-channel PCM. Note that DTS 
audio tracks cannot be converted to PCM.

Completing the setup procedure

Complete the setup procedure by pressing 

SETUP

 on the remote 

control. This saves all the data and closes the setup menu. You 
can press 

SETUP

 at any time while in a menu to quit from it.

To return to the setup menu at any time, ensure that there is no 
disc playing and press the 

SETUP

 button.
