Changing TV video format
Your system can accept different video formats (i.e. NTSC or PAL). This is useful, for example, if the system is moved to a region that uses a different format.
To select a video format:
Using the system menu
- On the remote control, press the System button
Tip: If the system menu does not appear on your TV, be sure the correct TV input is selected - Scroll right to select Video, then press the Enter button
- Scroll down to TV Video Format, then press the Enter button
- Scroll up or down to select NTSC (US), PAL (Europe) or Multistandard (for TVs that support PAL or NTSC)
Note: Multistandard is not available on earlier system software versions - Press the Enter button to select the format
- Press the Exit button to exit the menu
- Power off your system for at least one minute for the change to take effect.
