None of the TVs sold in the US support PAL. TVs sold in Europe on the other hand support PAL/SECAM and NTSC.

I am using it for PAL to NTSC conversion and it works fine. A PAL source into an US TV set. The connection is HDMI in and HDMI out from the box.

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.

Only NTSC since I bought the unit for the US. My understanding is that European versions would play pal.

What it does is convert broadcast signal from PAL to NTSC. I use mine with cable TV and it works just fine. It has in and out for both HDMI and AV and digital is what it is all about.

I have called the tv stations and had to ask them to enable the programming guide on their servers. They tend to forget that some users use an antenna. When that happens the guide shows the program as DTV program.I am on my fourth year of the PAL 7000. A savings of $3200 plus over a paid service. Yes less programming, most network programming is trash anyway. With a paid service they play the same material over and over for years, and even though you pay, you still have commercials. I use the savings to purchase dvd's or blu rays of what I really want to watch. I record anything on the CM7000 that I want to watch and zip through the commercials, unless they are worthy of watching.

I'm not sure, but I've older versions of LG players that have been able to play PAL formatted DVD's. Meaning DVD's from the U.K.

Hello Jordi,I recently bought this projector for India where there is PAL system. I have not tested this with TV signal connected yet. I am using the projector mostly for movies, internet and games. I am guessing the PAL/NTSC should not be any issue. There is no problem with power supply (110/220) or power frequency (50/60 hz).

I did some homework before I purchased the unit. Pioneer markets at least two versions of the BDP-150. An inexpensive version for the US market only and a more expensive one that plays all regions. If you do a google "shopping" search for the Pioneer BDP-150 you'll see what I mean.At the time, I suspected and the other responses confirm that Pioneer markets a PAL version as well. They probably market in all regions of the world. Why they use the same model number is anyone's guess. Seems to me it's causes unnecessary confusion.

I tested this with the HDMI connection. The owners manual, available publicly on the Philips site, indicates that the choice of upscaling format is available only on an HDMI connection, so I did not bother trying with component video. It seems component video supports only 480i/480p, or 576p to a PAL TV. The manual also indicates support for HDMI connections to DVI devices that support HDCP; I don't have such a device so I have not verified this. I hope shortly to have a 1080p TV to verify its behavior there.Thanks for the question. Although I saw it mentioned in a review or another forum question that upscaling was available only on HDMI, I realised after I wrote earlier that I should have included this detail.

Hello, This TV would not work in India out of the box. You would need a Voltage converter as well as a signal converter to PAL system.

Your TV's lack of HDMI renders this player unusable, regardless of your receiver's capabilities. I'd recommend the 980H, but that does not perform as well with PAL conversion. There are rumors of a future model, the DV-983H, which may (or may not) support component video. Note, however, that CSS-encrypted discs will not upconvert over component.One thought though... if your TV has a DVI input you might be able use an HDMI-DVI adapter (which is what I did).

No, it only supports NTSC. If you need to use PAL there may be an option to order the camera from the factory set up for PAL.

If your television is not equipped to handle PAL 525/60 signals, the picture will not be shown correctly, according to p. 12 of the manual. Otherwise you will need a pal or a multi-system TV set to view pal recorded DVDs.

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 both North and South America and not for Africa!!

We regret to inform you this TV doesn't work with the PAL video system. Only NTSC and ATSC video standards.

This thing does not work at all. If you are inputting a PAL signal, you theoretically should get a synced NTSC out. This thing does not work at all and has no sync circuitry.
