I'm kind of like wondering if this Samsung Smart TV does have PAL, SECAM & NTSC features for regional operation. Because NTSC only operates in the US

As far as I know this is a NTSC only TV. Very few TVs are duel mode and all that I have seen in 22 years had two tuners (one PAL, one NTSC) with clear marked inputs on the back. There maybe a TV with a twin tuner, I have not heard of it nor seen it since most PAL TVs also do not use screw on RF cable but BNC connector.

There is nothing in the manual about switching to PAL. The manuel only mentions support from areas using NTSC.

I was under the impression that, for whatever reason, only NTSC (or PAL, I forget - but the non-USA region) was limited to 29:59. I think the last (only) firmware released for the G5 updated the menus (in the region that is not limited to 29:59) to reflect this. Of course, I may be completely wrong, so please check further.Henk

It certainly works in the U.S. as a software-defined radio (using free programs HDSDR or SDR#). I've not installed or tried the supplied TV software.

This mostly means there is region restriction, though NTSC/PAL does not deal with the region.But usually, USA uses the NTSC picture format and Asian countries use PAL picture format. If you try the CD/DVD/picture CD from outside USA that is not NTSC format, it will either show you black and white picture or the audio will be gone. From my experience, Sony does not bring out multi-region devices as they support most of the blood sucking money thirsty enterprises who want to make sure you get the product for a specific usage while they charge you for the so called 'quality' and provide just the standard features.

I bought this player to read region 2 PAL-format dvds from UK (as well as my region 1 NTSC-format discs from US). It can convert between PAL and NTSC formats - set it up with front panel buttons. See Appendix 6 "Additional Information" in the manual. There is a table that shows the 3 modes - NTSC (output is always NTSC, will convert PAL sources), or PAL (output is always PAL, converts NTSC source), or AUTO (does not convert, puts out program from source as-is.) Works OK for me. Does not require a TV that goes both ways, will work with PAL (European) or NTSC (US) scan rate source material.

Dear Katherine! I don't know that such Comcast! But I will tell frankly bought it for Russia, it was pleasant to me in that that at it it is possible to change regions in the program from 0 to the 6th region. Our television of PAL SECAM perfectly perceives a recorder, unfortunately NTSC wasn't opportunities to check. Yours faithfully, Nike

I wouldn't know from experience but the manual states the TV type should be set to NTSC but it can also be used as PAL or auto. Not sure if that's helpful but it's the only info I could find.

It would seem so. However, I went to Samsung.com/support/live chat and asked them for a definitive answer and they said they can't speak for "foreign" built Samsung tv's. Doesn't make sense does it.

Thanks for your questions. We have only access to US version. It is a wonderful receiver.

Pal and NTSC is the type of signal encoding, like English, French, Spanish, etc. PAL & SECAM are used in Europe and some areas of South America. NTSC is used only in North America. Atsc is the tuner type and there are analog and digital versions. Analog is no longer used in north America as it moved to digital a few years ago, so an analog tuner is useless on a portable tv as the broadcast signals are now all in digital format. But analog tuners can still be used in many other parts of the world, that's why they are still being made. One analog tv channel carries only 1 analog TV signal but it can carry up to 4 digital channels in either clear-quam, FTA or scrambled formats, hence the digital decoder boxes cable TV providers sell you as their signals are normally scrambled to protect their investments. This unit can only pickup FTA unscrambled digital signals where available in both regular definition (SD) or high definition (HD) formats. It can also pickup regular audio broadcasts when available.

Yes, you can use in every part of the world, but you wan a get NTSC video signal from this camera. West Africa use PAL video signal. Also I have this exact camera for sale!

I bought the NTSC version and I can confirm that it works on a PAL tv. There is an option in settings where you can select PAL or NTSC. I can only assume that a PAL version also works on an NTSC tv...

It works fine in the United States (Hawaii). It came with the adapter for the outlet and was already setup for NTSC.
