Video Connections
This player features S-video and composite video output

Check the manual supplied with your TV or monitor to
determine the best possible connection for your system.
In addition to making physical connections to your TV or
monitor, it is also necessary to assign the TV screen size.
You can use the
[Setup Navigator]

General
to set whether you are using a wide screen or
standard size TV or monitor (
page 22
). Additionally, you
can use the
[TV Screen]
setting in the Setup screen
Video
menu (
page 34
).

or monitor with a video input jack.

About MOD. (Modulation) PAL
• SHRINK
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.
• If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you
may not be able to view NTSC disc because the
picture may 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
=
PAL
conversion.
