Page 1 of HELP!!! What does RGB not pal60 mean?

I am totally confused, i got told by the people at techtronics that the sony ns300 only plays back in ntsc and that if my tv doesnt suppourt that then I should consider not buying it. But i looked somewhere else and it said it was RGB not Pal60, i know what both of them are but, I am baffled. I have read on this site in the FAQ that RGB bypasses the whole ntsc thing, i think, does it? If my telly is capable of accepting an RGB input am i ok? ARGHHH I think i may just stick with my crappy Orion DVD2000, as it has the option to choose playback.But it has an annoying tendancy to put the audio out of synch on certain dvds, and change the screen ratio on dvds that have in screen things like the white rabbit on the matrix dvd or the pill on the Akira dvd.

Help me please, it will be greatfully accepted.

OK...

It`s true that when playing NTSC discs, Sony players only output NTSC - rather than PAL-60 - in composite and S-Video modes. However, they also output RGB, which bypasses the PAL/NTSC colour issue entirely. So if your TV can accept RGB and is also capable of 60Hz display, you`ll get a colour picture from the NS300 with NTSC discs, provided you connect it via a fully-wired SCART lead to your TV`s RGB SCART socket.

Thanks, where can i get a fully wired rgb scart from?

Thanks again, memento

Just about anywhere really - most SCARTs are fully wired. Try Richer Sounds, Maplin, wherever.

http://www.beyondhifi.net are my golden boys - cheap, quick and luverly blue SCART leads - just the job.

Thankyou s very much you lurverly people.

But I have since changed my mind about the sony and am thinking about one of the new Pioneer jobbies. When they say it outputs in pal60 is there an option on the dvd players menu to change this? If not how do i change it?

Once again thankyou for all the help it has been invaluable!!
