How to connect your player up
We recommend using RGB if this is available on your TV and DVD player.
Scart to Scart is normally the easiest way to hook up.
For more information on hooking up your DVD player to your existing system, please
check our web site.
PAL and NTSC issues
On your player:
A PAL DVD will output as PAL
A NTSC DVD will output as NTSC
If your TV does not do NTSC, you will have a black and white picture.
Some TVs will do NTSC on a specific AV input only, eg AV1 Scart.
You should check your TV with regards to this.
To record a NTSC signal on VCR, your VCR must be capable of recording NTSC.
If you require more details about PAL/NTSC please see our web site.
Macrovision
On your model, macrovision is automatically disabled. This will allow you to route
your DVD player output via a VCR and also directly to projectors which have
problems with macrovision.
A PAL VCR cannot cope with a NTSC signal either. If you intend to backup a
NTSC DVD, you must use a NTSC VCR that can record NTSC or use a
standards converter to convert NTSC to PAL50 first.
A VCR that can play NTSC tapes may not necessarily be able to record NTSC. VCRs
marked NTSC playback will play NTSC and output PAL60. They cannot record NTSC
or PAL60.
