My review was written for the Pioneer DVD player that was NTSC only. I don't know why it was posted under this region-free device.

Short answer: The unit is physically capable of playing PAL, but it will refuse because it is region-locked.I can't link to the manual from Amazon, but if you search for P10.1ES_EN_UM.PDF you should find it. Page 22-23 explain the following: The player is region-locked, though they apparently make players for all 6 regions. The USA is region 1, and NTSC is the format we use here, so it's unlikely you'll ever see a "normal" PAL dvd that is also region 1. If you do happen to have a region-free PAL DVD, it should play just fine.

I think it will work, I used it on a NTSC T.v to convert to Pal which it did

I have never tried the - Pal - format...( european ) any DVD you buy in this country will work fine.

Yes, it plays both file types. However, I would suggest you look further for an all region player. My experience with this was not good. The remote stopped working after only a couple of weeks of use. The player works, but without the remote it is very inconvenient. At least it was cheap.

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.

if you are asking about playing PAL DVD's on a North American system TV, no you do not need a converter. I connected the player with a hdmi cable and it automatically played my PAL DVD's

I can't say for sure, but it looks like it does. It has configuration menus showing support for English, Vietnamese, Thai, German, French and Spanish and video for PAL, NTSC, SECAM, PAL-N, PAL-M and PAL-N Argent.

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

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.

Yes it works fine on PAL. It is just standard TV 720 x 576 resolution with no drop out and very acceptable quality

I'm gonna take an educated guess here and say this...the O!Play HDR1 media player (the predecessor to this one) play PAL video flawlessly, so this one should be able to as well.

It's NTSC-U, so it will only work for NTSC-U consoles. You'll need to find a PAL version.

ALL DVD players play PAL DVD?????? While this does not address your main comments dedicated to region-free play, it is absolutely NOT true that ALL DVD players play both NTSC and PAL! I even recently bought a relatively expensive Panasonic DVD-Burner/multi-format Player that is pretty high end in everything and yet that does not handle PAL, so I must take exception to your glib declaration that may lead some folks who are interested in PAL DVD viewing to stop double-checking for that specification before making an unfortunate purchase.

I have the Sylvania NB500SL9 1080p Blu-Ray Player. Unlike the three older and cheaper DVD players, the Sylvania doesn't play PAL DVD.

Yes it plays, you 5 choices to change the region settings. otherwise, if you need to keep switching the regions, you can buy a software like BluFab 9 or AnyDVD HD, so you can play any region after that.
