It says "This is PAL and NTSC compatible" on the description. Does anyone know if they were referring to the VIERA Link or the TV itself ?

I believe they are referring to the tv. You can call Panasonic and ask to be certain. I can tell you this is the most awesome picture I have ever seen on a tv. Worth every penny!

The TV itself. Viera link is Internet connected so NTSC or PAL don't apply or affect it.

I believe they are refering to the tv since we have a home in Europe and we make sure it says PAl & NTSC compatible.

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.

it's the tuner in the tv.... has to work in NTSC, or PAL. Depending on which country you are in, which standard they use to code their TV signal and whether its an analog signal or digital signal. But best source of information would be the Panasonic web site with the model of tv you need in the country its going to be used in.Viera link is the "smart" overlay for receiving internet applications, like Netflex, via you wifi network.

"If you purchase the unit within the North American Territories, it will only have support for NTSC/ATSC/QAM broadcasting systems and only 100v-127v 60Hz power. Since the NA TVs will not accept a PAL signal (or higher voltages), you will not only need a converter for the broadcast, but also for the power if you would like to use the TV in a PAL country."

I know it supports NTSC but I'm not sure if it would support PAL. If you live in Europe, China, Africa, or the Middle East I would recommend a TV you know supports PAL. If you are in the states, Japan, Korea, or South America this TV will probably work fine.Here's a list of countries that support NTSC which is what this TV can definitely support: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTSC

Both, using either PAL or NTSC camera, simply connect the camera on Ch 1 first and then power it up, the system will auto detect the TV format

Hi Asam Unfortunately, I bought NTSC and it did not work. But I have bought before PAL and it worked fine .. So make sure it reads PAL on the cover compatible.

No it is not a European PAL format dvd/vcr.This will play NTSC format,NOT PAL.If you want a PAL format machine then purchase a PAL format machine.

I asked this question also and this is what Samsung tech said, "If you purchase the unit within the North American Territories, it will only have support for NTSC/ATSC/QAM broadcasting systems and only 100v-127v 60Hz power. Since the NA TVs will not accept a PAL signal (or higher voltages), you will not only need a converter for the broadcast, but also for the power if you would like to use the TV in a PAL country."

I did some checking around and the NTSC's version I purchased. It is said to be compatible with PAL systems. I hope this helps. (You may need a US PSN account for any upcoming downloadable content.)

I believe that PAL and NTSC are not compatible and would require a converter.

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

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.

Yeah it just has to be for the correct region. I.E. NTSC for US and JP; and PAL for euroland. Just avoid the insanely confusing NTSC japanese scart connector; its some crazy special pinout of scart for Japan; the normal scart for NTSC will work even with a JP super Famicom. Learned this the hard way.

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

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

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.

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.
