* Set the color system of the unit and TV to match the system of
the playback disc.
• Before playing back a disc, it is also required to select the correct
"MONITOR TYPE" in the PICTURE menu according to the
aspect ratio of your TV. (See page 78.)
If you play back an NTSC disc with this setting set to
"PAL"
You can watch the playback pictures (the disc will be reproduced using "PAL
60" format), but the TV screen may roll upward and downward rapidly.
If you play back a PAL disc with this setting set to
"NTSC"
You can watch the playback, but the following symptoms may occur:
• The items on the disc menu will be blurred, and be shown slightly shifted
when highlighted.
• The aspect ratio of the picture may differ from the original aspect ratio.
• The picture movement is not smooth.
Connecting Other Equipment
You can connect other equipment such as a digital decoder to
reproduce multi-channel sounds or audio equipment which can be
used as a playback device.
When you connect and use such equipment, refer also to its manual.
• DO NOT connect other equipment while the
power is on.
• DO NOT plug in any equipment until all
connections are complete.
