TV System on my Wharfedale 750 - AUTO, PAL or NTSC ?

Will I get a better picture quality if I switch the TV System to NTSC for Region 1 NTSC discs than the AUTO setting ? My TV can handle NTSC signals.
Does AUTO switch the signal to NTSC or does it just convert it to PAL ?
Any info. or explanation on how this all works will be appreciated.
Thanks
Andrew

If set to PAL, the 750 does a conversion from NTSC at 30fps to PAL at 25fps. This is very noticeable when you play R1 NTSC discs, and I think unwatchable. Not sure why Wharfedale couldn`t convert the NTSC signal to PAL60 (which also runs at 30fps).
Therefore you should set your 750 to Auto so that it will output R1 discs to your TV in NTSC - assuming your TV can use this.
