Does it work with PAL, or only NTSC?

it works with either, just have to go into settings to switch between the two.

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...

a different region player, say for the UK, will probably play the appropriate pal type video. This is region 1 thus works w/ NTSC

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.

According to this reviewer: Mr. MICHAEL OHARA "profgadget" posted on Sept. 5 2008, this DVD player is NTSC only, no Pal format.

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.

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 bought two of these as christmas presents for my children and I have the same problem with one of them. I checked NTSC, but that should not have anything to do with the problem. NTSC/PAL is a regional setting when it comes to the video format. I am going to file a complaint and request either a new replacement or a refund for the bad item.

This is what u need to know. Last sentence is most important. PAL/NTSC Conversion - The BDP-93 supports NTSC and PAL systems for both disc playback and video output. It can also convert content of one system for output in another. (Subject to DVD and BD region restrictions.)

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 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

Hi Taofiki, my model does do both NTSC and PAL, but not all models do. You would need to make sure that the specifications indicate either PAL or both, or give the option to upgrade from only NTSC to both. That is an option you have to pay for though.

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

Jason:Mine plays NTSC and PAL region free discs fine but anything that is region locked (2, 3, etc) wont play. I played some discs that were marked region 2 pal and they would not play but others also marked region 2 pal played fine as well as region 3. I suspect that, at least in my case, that some of my dvd's might be labeled region 2 or 3 but are in fact all region or region 0. Have you checked anything that you know for sure is region locked? Its very interesting that you are having no issues at all. At least I know that it is NTSC PAL friendly. Otherwise, this player rocks

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

Try the dip switches that change from pal to NTSC format. The default was pal. I had same issue and fixed it with the switch settings
