Changing the Color System (NTSC/PAL)
If you experience picture distortion or are unable to view the
monitor image, you may need to change the color setting to
match your TV.
1. Turn the unit off.
2. While holding down the PAUSE button of the main unit, press
the POWER button.
3. While “V Set NTSC” (or “V Set PAL”) is displayed on the front
panel display, press the
/
button.
The display changes to “V Set PAL” (or “V Set NTSC”).
Select “V Set PAL” when a PAL TV (European standard) is
connected. Select “V Set NTSC” when a NTSC TV (American
standard) is connected.
4. Press the POWER button to turn the unit off.
Note that you have to turn the unit off before each change.
About MOD.(Modulation) PAL:
Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV
system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically
switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without
vertical shrinkage.
If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not
be able to view NTSC disc because the picture may roll. If the
TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops
rolling. On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically, leaving
black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a
malfunction; it is caused by the NTSC-PAL conversion.

Before Use (2)
Placement of the unit
High-quality hardened tool steel is used for the pin-point feet,
securely attached to the bottom of the player. Although the
cover feet may appear loose, the weight of the unit causes
them to be firm and secure, and the design effectively damps
and reduces vibration.
<
Be careful to avoid injury when moving the unit, on account
of its weight. Get someone to help you if necessary.
<
To protect floors, etc. you may stick the felt supplied with the
unit to the bottom of the cover feet.

Beware of condensation
When the unit (or a disc) is moved from a cold to a warm
place, or used after a sudden temperature change, there is a
danger of condensation; vapor in the air could condense on
the internal mechanism, making correct operation impossible.
To prevent this, or if this occurs, leave the unit turned on for
one or two hours. Then the unit will stabilize at the
temperature of its surroundings.
Maintenance
If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft cloth or
use diluted neutral cleaning liquid. Be sure to remove any
fluid completely. Do not use thinner, benzine or alcohol as
they may damage the surface of the unit.
