Page 1 of PHILLIPS 703 (phase-alternating line PAL) HELPPPP!!!

Hi!

I own A phillpis 703 DVD model but I cant find a way to change it to PAL System. Does Anyone know? I CANT SEE MOVIES!

Thanks!

You don`t mention which country you are in or where you bought the player.

The Philips 703 DVD player runs on PAL-B, which uses the video bandwidth 5.0MHz and Sound Carrier 5.5MHZ. So you will not get a picture unless your TV is compatible. (Unlikely on a UK TV, which uses PAL-I.) This has a video bandwidth of 5.5MHZ and Sound Carrier of 6.0MHz. Hence you would hear the movies but not see them.

No hack - no converters - you either get a TV that is PAL-B compatible or a DVD Player that is compatible with your current TV. Sorry.

P.S. There`s a handy table here to show which countries use which versions of PAL etc:

Esruiz,

Page nine of the owners manual:

You can switch the NTSC/PAL setting of the DVD player to
match the video signal of your TV. This setting only affects
the television's on-screen display that shows the stop and
setup modes. You may select either NTSC or PAL. To
change the DVD player setting to PAL or NTSC, follow the
steps below.
1 Press the POWER ON/OFF button on the front panel of
the DVD player to turn OFF the DVD player.
2 Press and hold 9 and T on the front of the DVD player.
While holding 9 and T press POWER ON/OFF.
3 After PAL or NTSC appears on the display panel of the
DVD player, release 9 and T at the same time. The PAL
or NTSC indicator that appears on the display panel
indicates the current setting.
4 To change the setting, press T within three seconds. The
new setting (PAL or NTSC) will appear on the display
panel.

PAL B would only affect an RF connection, connections through Scart or phono leads would not be affected.

Also if the unit could output PAL B by RF (it can`t as is has no RF modulator, anyway) it would display a picture on a PAL I TV but there would be no sound.
