To select the TV standard
DVD movies are produced in both PAL and NTSC television
formats. The 596 DVD Player is capable of converting between
formats, to allow you to view DVD movies in either format even if
your television is not capable of displaying that format. However
the conversion process introduces some picture degradation,
and may disable disc menu operation on some discs.
● Highlight TV standard in the Video setup menu, and press
Enter.
The TV standard menu is displayed:
● Press V or A to highlight the option you want, and press
Enter.
Choose Auto if your television can display both PAL and NTSC
video, or choose NTSC or PAL to match the format supported
by your television.
If your television is capable of displaying both formats the
recommended setting is Auto, which supplies the unconverted
video signal to the television.
A separate Powerup std option lets you specify the standard to
be selected when you bring the 596 out of standby:
● Press V or A to highlight the option you want, and press
Enter.
