NTSC/PAL Settings
You can switch the NTSC/PAL setting of the DVD Player to
match the color system of your TV. Most TVs in the United States
use the NTSC color system. So, if your TV uses NTSC, set the
DVD Player to NTSC. The Discs you play should have the same
color system (NTSC or PAL) that you choose for the DVD Player
and TV. To change the DVD Player’s NTSC/PAL setting, follow
the steps below. Read through all the steps first to become
familiar with the process.
