Playing Back Video CDs
Selecting Video Output (PAL, MULTI, NTSC)
You can set this setting in Standby mode.
Before playing a VCD, use the buttons on the unit to select a
video output mode to match your TV system.
Video output is preset for PAL.
1
Press and hold one of the disc
number buttons (CD1, CD2 or
CD3) for more than 2 sec.
CD3............. for NTSC exclusive TV.
CD2............. for Multisystem TV.
Multi detects the formula of the disc
(NTSC/PAL) automatically and displays the
image on the screen correctly.
CD1............. for PAL exclusive TV.
Selection of Video Output Mode
• When you play an NTSC disc in MULTI mode on a PAL
exclusive TV, the image may be distorted. If this happens, change
the mode to PAL.
• When you play an NTSC disc in MULTI mode on a Multisystem
TV, the image may blink for a moment. This symptom is caused
by the Unit detecting the formula of the disc, not by a malfunction
of the unit.
• Selection of video output mode works only in standby mode.
