Setting the TV System
(Except DV-563A and DV-667A Taiwanese
model)
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
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 (
AUTO
,
PAL
and
NTSC
).
1
If the player is on, press
STANDBY/
ON to switch it to standby.
2
Using the front panel controls, hold
down
then press
STANDBY/ON
to switch the TV system.
The TV system changes as follows:
AUTO
NTSC
NTSC
PAL

The player’s display shows the new setting.
• You have to switch the player into standby
(press
STANDBY/ON
) before each
change.
Watching NTSC on a PAL TV
Most models of the newly developed
countdown 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.
