Perhaps the location of the "tint" control is covered in this set, as the PAL transmission scheme (which included phase reversal on alternate lines) did not require adjustment of tint.

Quote:
NTSC receivers have a tint control to perform colour correction manually. If this is not adjusted correctly, the colours may be faulty. The PAL standard automatically cancels hue errors by phase reversal, so a tint control is unnecessary. Chrominance phase errors in the PAL system are cancelled out using a 1H delay line resulting in lower saturation, which is much less noticeable to the eye than NTSC hue errors.
