Is any special set-up needed to play PAL or NTSC formatted DVD's.Cine

I don't remember other than reading the instructions which I think explained how to set it up. I've played several different formats without problem.

So far I have used Region 1 and 2 discs. No problems. It is a really great player. Very sharp pictures.

There are some very easy instructions to follow. It didn't take more than 15 minutes to set it all up.

Depends on where you buy it from. From PAL countries it will be PAL formatted, and from NTSC regions it will be NTSC.

Thanks for your reply. I had equated NTSC or PAL with the region. So, if I want to play both PAL and NTSC DVDs, regardless of what region these discs are, I would need a player that can be set to region 0 = region free?

Just to confirm. So your P2500 does play movies with dvd+r format even home movies?

Hello Bryan , when it comes to NTSC, and PAL these are basically directly related to the type of DVD or "video system" in which different movies require different playback and if the right selection is not chosen for the movie you are watching you may end up watching it in white-black format or flash, most radio units that offer the choice of NTSC or PAL will generally offer the "Auto" option which then it will chose the correct format for you. You do not need special wire or anything. If as you put "simply connect the t.v. to this unit" you are referring to your car then yes you can do that, just be sure to purchase the harness to match your car make and model vehicle.

Yes apparently--certainly, no coding or "internal" reset was needed; curiously on one Japanese item, it apparently felt it necessary to say that it would play the item. It has played several European zone DVD's without problem, announcement, error management, or programming necessity.

It has a setting to internalyl switch between NTSC and PAL but I haven't been able to get it to work when I needed it.

My region 2 DVDs play fine. Make sure you have the region-free version of the BDX1400 and not the regular BDX1400.

NTSC and PAL is to do with the TV not the player as far as know. Since attached to computer the computer just plays movie and then displays on computer screen.

Yes it Does Play PAL discs, BUT, they have to be ALL region or region A/1. Same with DVD's, if they are all region PAL, it WILL play it.gerard masters

Jacki, the following is my opinion only never tested it back to back: I believe it all depends on your multi-system DVD player. If its output is NTSC then any US system TV will be able to take and decode its signal. No multisystem TV is needed. If the DVD player is an overseas model with PAL or SECAM output then only a multisystem TV can decode its signal. I bought a Phillips DVP 642 DVD which I unlocked to play any region code DVD's and it works like a charm with my old NTSC (US standard only) TV and plays all my DVD's from Europe. I recommend the Phillips model it is cheap and you can unlock it with its remote control in about 30 seconds ;) Peter

Thanks for the reply.I assume it's a non-issue, but does it also do a good job of playing Pal DVDs on a PAL TV?

There is no reference to PAL in the setup, only NTSC., I'm sure if you are on PAL it will be PAL. But I can only say no PAL on my unit.

I did not get to try it out. I returned it because I could not play DVD's which were formatted in PAL (European) even though they were region free

Yes, it converts the PAL signal to play on an NTSC TV. You don't have to do anything special if it's an all-region disc. For discs that are region specific, you have to reset through the preferences menu, which is explained in other reviews.

There is no PAL HD DVD or NTSC HD DVD. There is only HD DVD.It is in DVD where there remains PAL DVDs and NTSC DVDs.An HD-A3 purchased in America will play HD DVD purchased from all over the world.

This is inaccurate.PAL discs are converted by the player. I have one and tested it soon after it arrived. It works flawlessly on my NTSC-only TV.This player will play literally almost ANYTHING. Format, code, region, you name it.
