Page 1 of HELP - Does my TV use PAL50 or PAL60??

I have recently taken back my Wharfedale 750S and will probably be getting an AIWA 370, can anyone tell me if my current TV set will accept PAL 50 only. I had the 750S set to PAL and got R1 discs in colour, but when I tried to change it to PAL60 or PAL60R the screen flickered like mad so I had to quickly change it back to PAL while still in the setup menu. I presume from that that the TV will only accept PAL50 so that`s why I`m going for the AIWA and not the PIONEER 535 as I think that only uses PAL60.

Any advice would be appreciated.

If you bought it in the UK then it will definetly accept a 50hz signal.

What is the manufacturer and manufacturer`s serial number of the television ?

All UK TV`s are PAL 50... PAL 60 is only present on the more modern TV sets.

Maybe Your TV is PAL 50 only and your DVD player is transmitting PAL 60.... would this give you problems ? Just a guess ?

If you are connecting your DVD player to VHS recorder then to TV then the macrovision protection problem may be creating some problems.

Have you seen the Scan SC-2000 player... Macrovision free.. No Region Code locks.. and upgradable by firmware... £186 last time I looked.

My television is a JVC CM21773-004 Mono sound with one Scart and a S-Video connector on the back. I don`t have the instructions so cannot check if it can handle pure NTSC as well. If it could handle NTSC would the PIONEER 535 play through it OK?.
