The switches are to select the video output mode, NTSC or PAL.

You would want to leave it alone, NTSC is the National Television Standards Committee, cant remember what PAL stands for, NTSC is for cards sold in North America and PAL is for cards sold in Europe..you can do a search for NTSC and PAL, just to see what theye do..But i can say changing this will Not make anything magical happen, back in the 9700 days this was talked about...
