as title states how do you change from ntsc to pal and vice versa?

my mate has successfully used a region hack to change his philips 612 to multiregion. unfortunately title screen when player switches on is grey and region 1 & 3 discs play in black and white. region 2 discs ok. i reckon problem is to do with pal/ntsc switching but he has lost his manual so doesn`t now how to play about with user settings. i told him one of you geniuses would know the info which i can pass onto him.

scart to scart being used.

many thanks in anticipation of your help or any other suggestions

Unplug your Dvd
Press the STOP button and the FORWARD button at the same time, plugg in your Dvd player again, keep pressing the button, either ntsc or pal will flash on your display. : )

I got the same problem, i think its your tv that cant take one of the signals.

I bought a tv card for my computer and plugged my dvd in it, now its working great :)

Good Luck :)
