Question:
Hi All,
I'm very new to this but the recent purchase of a DVD player has been fraught with problems. Anyway, I am now the very happy owner of a Toshiba SD220E region free DVD player.
I've recently borrowed some R1 DVD titles (in NTSC format) from a mate but I can only play them in black and white. The TV (a Panasonic TX25 - about 5 years old) doesn't seem to support PAL-NTSC conversion - although the DVD player does.
I'm sure this has been addressed before (apologies - as I say I'm a newbie !) but any suggestions as to how to overcome this would be gratefully received.
The TV may be being replaced in 3-4 months time but in the meantime ......
Cheers.
are you useing a scart lead from the dvd player to the tv
the 3 phone leads(yellow,white,red) are no good for ntsc it will play back in black & white
also check to see if the player is outputing in PAL
Tobytyke - Use a SCART lead (into AV1) and set the player to output RGB in the setup menu..
Tafsir - the 3 phone leads(yellow,white,red) are no good for ntsc it will play back in black & white
Not 100% true mate. My TV will accept an NTSC signal thru composite.
Thanks guys....
I told you I was new to this - glorious technicolor is resumed.
Just saved me a grand and a divorce !
Nice one....
