6 DVD Setup Menu Back Ground • Default setting: Logo This specifies what the screen shows when the player is stopped. Note If Capture is selected, a picture taken in by Capture is displayed. (page 29) Screen Saver • Default setting: On If a constant image is displayed on a conventional CRT-type TV, it can "burn in" leaving a ghost image on the screen. Switch to On to make sure that a constant image is not displayed for a dangerously long time. TV System • Default setting: NTSC The default setting of this player is NTSC, and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it set to NTSC. 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 (Multi, PAL and NTSC). Disc Type Format DVD Video CD/ Super VCD Super Audio CD CD, No disc NTSC PAL NTSC PAL Output format Position of TV SYSTEM NTSC PAL Multi NTSC MOD. PAL NTSC NTSC PAL PAL NTSC MOD. PAL NTSC NTSC PAL PAL NTSC PAL NTSC NTSC PAL NTSC 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 discs, because the picture may roll. If the TV has a VHold 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. Note • When the selected format is changed to a different format from the TV format in which a program was recorded, the picture may become jerky and the upper and lower parts of the screen may disappear. The above setting should be specified to match the format of your own TV. • Changes can be made only in the Stop mode. When RESUME is indicated on the display, put the player in the Stop mode by repressing 7 (STOP) button. 48
