3.2.1 Television standard
The digital receiver supports two television standards. One
is PAL standard, and the other is NTSC standard. PAL was
adopted in European countries while NTSC is adopted in USA,
Canada, Mexico and so forth. Refer to Table 3.1 for the televi-
sion standard of your local area.
If you have a PAL television, you have to set the TV Type option
to PAL. In this case, if you switch to a service of the NTSC stan-
dard, though it is unlikely to happen, the digital receiver will
display the pictures converted into the PAL standard. How-
ever, it is inevitable to lose a little picture quality. Likewise, the
contrary case brings about the same result.
The best thing is to watch PAL services with a PAL television
and to watch NTSC services with a NTSC television. However,
a multi television set is able to process both of them. So if you
have a multi television set, you should set the TV Type option
to Multi. Then the digital receiver will present pictures without
standard conversion.
