Important Notice for TV colour system

The colour system of this player differs according to currently playing discs.

For example, when the player plays the disc recorded in the NTSC colour system, the image is output as an NTSC signal.

Only the multi system colour TV can receive all signals output from the player.

yy If you have a PAL colour system TV, you will see just distorted images when using discs or video contents recorded in NTSC.

yy The multi system colour TV changes the colour system automatically according to input signals. In case that the colour system is not changed automatically, turn it off and then on to see normal images on screen.

yy Even if the disc recorded in NTSC colour system are well displayed on your TV, these may not be recorded correctly on your recorder.
