RE: Need help changing Philips DVD 622 from NTSC to PAL

Will this also work with the Philips 730?

RE: ADL528 - Forced PAL 50?

Thanks again.

Swapped the scart connections on the TV and - hey bloomin` presto - colour signal on region 0 disc (thus making that £50 converter null and void!!) BUT, when I convert the DVD player to region 1, the pic shows in a blue-tinged B&W. Feeding the signal through the converter enables a completely B&W instead.

Does this mean the TV cannot accept pal 50/60? (I`m using a gold plated scart lead for the connection (and 3 phono when using with the converter)Or is the problem to do with the DVD player? If it can output an NTSC signal to play the region 0 disc, then why can`t it do the same for region 1??

My head`s starting to hurt!!!;-)

Best site to buy Reg1+2 films??

Have any of you guys got one perfect site when it comes to buying DVD`s? Fast delivery, cheap P+P, large stock etc etc?

Which one is it??

RE: ADL528 - Forced PAL 50?

Not a silly question at all - one that`s been driving me insane over the past few days!

The tv and dvd are connected via a scart lead. There is no option on the player to output RGB through the menu, nor to input RGB in the TV.

I`ve tried using 3 phono leads to connect the equipment - but is this an RGB connection?

Any help much appreciated

Thanks a lot for your reply Richard - I had a look at the site you posted, and it seems that it should work fine. Till I get a whole new system in `03 that is.....;-)

ADL528 - Forced PAL 50?

Hi.

Hope someone can help me out here:

I bought my DVD player in `99 - a Philips 730 Region 2. Connected it to my Philips 28pw 6332C TV via SCART, and all worked well. Until I decided to buy some Region 1 disks. Managed to alter the region coding fine, but noticed that NTSC discs would only play in B&W. So, knowing that my TV wasn`t able to play the NTSC format, I bought an analogue NTSC-PAL converter (£50-ish), thinking this would solve the problem.

Has it buffalo! The converter works fine with Region 0 discs, but whenever I change the player to region 2 (or 0), the pic is in B&W again, even when fed through the converter.

Okay - with me so far? Not bored by my ramblings? (Happy Christmas by the way) Right then: Decided I can`t afford to buy another multi-standard TV within the next two years or so (besides, the Philips TV I have now set me back £900 around 4 yrs ago and is, with PAL, pretty decent), so, after reading tons of things online, decided to buy a really cheap, multi-region PAL-output-on-NTSC-films DVD player (heck of a nightmare with that on GOOGLE, I`ll tell ya). Saw a couple for £300+, but then saw one for £119. Called up the Customer Services, and was told that yes, the DVD would play NTSC films on PAL TV`s. I`m not so sure though....

The player I`ve bought is a Cyber Home ADL528 (manual region changing by remote - it`s cheaper, what can I say?) - can anyone here confirm that this will output pure PAL signals from an NTSC disc? I doubt that PAL 60 would work with the Philips 28PW6332C.

If the ADL won`t work, can I get a bargain multi-region one that does? And if so - where??? As long as the quality is equal to my Philips 730, I`m not that bothered;-)

PLEASE HELP! I have until Tues before my order gets processed, so any help would be sooo welcome.........
