Page 1 of DVD Player and TV signal frequency mismatch?

I have Pioneer DV-350S DVD Multi Region Player.
I connected it`s scart output to my 3-4 years old
Nicam Stereo 21" Ferguson TV with a SCART socket using
a SCART Cable.

The picture on TV Screen is cut from top and bottom and
there is a bright white line on top.
There is no distortion or deformation in the picture.
The colors and picture quality is perfect. But the picture
is shrunk with about 2" black bars on top & bottom.

I have set the video option of the dvd player to
4:3 letterbox option as suggested.

I also tried connecting my dvd player with the same SCART Cable
to my friend`s Old Panasonic TV with SCART and it works perfect
without a problem.

SO I think it is my TV`s problem but don`t know what it could be.

Someone said that there can be a Signal Frequency mismatch between the
DVD Player & the TV.

Is it so?

Do anyone of you have any idea about this?
What could be wrong?
What could be done?
Is it a NTSC / PAL issue?
