Firstly I was wondering what Pal 60 was?
Secondly does the Wharfdale 750s feature NTSC > PAL conversion and if so does it do a good job?

Most telly`s use PAL50 ie 625 lines at 50 frames per second, and is standard for TV across Europe. However, our American cousins go for a `better` picture called NTSC (jokingly called Never Twice the Same Color when it first came out) which was the first colour picture, back in the 50s. Their refresh rates are 60 frames per second. With the upsurge in DVD/VHS capable of NTSC playback invariably picture quality suffered a wee bit, despite on-board converters in the players. PAL 60 is really an inside the telly job to try to get the piccies to match a bit better. How many TVs are fitted with ths I couldn`t say - the majority however have good old PA:L 50. The NTSC/PAL converter should be on board the Wharfey as it calls itself multi-region. Failing that, if you have a modern enough telly it should be capable of switching to NTSC, probably thru the on screen menu. Hope that helps. I`m off to assist Magnus Pike in some funny experiments now, and to wave my arms around a lot...
