setting in the Setup screen
Video
menu (

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.
