NTSC disc playback on a PAL TV
When playing an NTSC disc using a PAL TV, please note
the following:
• The picture will shrink vertically to some degree, as
shown in the diagram, but this does not indicate a
malfunction in your TV or DVD player.
• If your TV does not have a V-HOLD control, the picture
may roll and be unwatchable. However, if you use a TV
with V-HOLD control, you can stop the rolling by adjusting the V-HOLD
control and watch the picture.
