    I seem to remember you have to flick switch 2 to put it into PAL, but if you leave it then it autodetects or something. Not sure why you have a switch when it can auto switch but....

    Where you the kind of kid that found a screwdriver and proceeded to take the phone, video player and anything else you could get your hands on, apart?

    'Unscrew'?! What the hell's that?! :D
    The hammer is still my weapon of choice (along with fire)...

    As everyone has already stated, it's a switch for PAL/NTSC. Can't remember why there are 2 though...I think my old AIW card had 2, one of which possibly had something to do with the video input.
