Setting the TV format
Set the TV SYSTEM switch to match the TV system in your country or region. If you
have a multi-system TV that can display both PAL and NTSC signals, set this switch to
AUTO. This will allow you to watch both PAL and NTSC Video CDs and DVD discs.
This system can convert NTSC to PAL, so if you’ve set the
TV SYSTEM switch to PAL,
you’ll be able to watch any PAL or NTSC disc.
This system will also convert PAL to NTSC, but only for Video CDs. If you’ve set the
TV SYSTEM switch to NTSC, you’ll be able to watch any PAL or NTSC Video CD, but
only NTSC DVD discs.

Connecting the Radio Antennas
Connecting the supplied antennas will allow you to listen to both AM and FM radio
broadcasts. If you find that reception quality is poor, an outdoor antenna should give
you better sound quality—see the Connecting external antennas box below for
more on how to do this.
Before making or changing antenna connections, make sure that the power is
switched off and the unit disconnected from the wall power outlet.
1 Pull off the protective shields of both AM antenna wires.
2 Pull open both tabs and insert one wire fully into each terminal.
3 Snap the tabs shut to secure the AM antenna wires.
Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and point in the direction giving the best
reception. If necessary, stabilize with a pen or pencil through the hole near the base.
Avoid placing near computers, television sets or other electrical appliances and do not
let it come into contact with metal objects.
It’s also possible to fix the AM
antenna to a wall using two small
screws or pins through the two holes
at the top of the loop. Before fixing,
make sure that the reception is
satisfactory.
Connect the FM wire antenna in the
same way as the AM loop antenna.
For best results, extend the FM
antenna fully and fix to a wall or
door frame. Don’t drape loosely or
leave it coiled up.
The supplied FM antenna is a
simple means of receiving FM
stations; using a dedicated, outdoor
FM antenna will usually give you
better reception and sound quality.
See Connecting external antennas above for connection details.
Note: The signal earth (H) is designed to reduce noise that occurs when an
antenna is connected. It is not an electrical safety earth.
