Does the BDP1100E All Zone player play on PAL TVs?

Tv isn't the issue as all you need to do is hook up bd player to any tv around the world with hdmi. This player can play dvds and be discs from any region. I've tried discs from Japan, Europe, and U.S.

Kumar: I cannot answer your question since I'm not familiar with PAL TV's. I can tell you that if a zone 1 region 1 player works on it, then this one will too.

Did you ever find out if it would play PAL format DVDs? I wonder it as well, i have one and i want to buy something on PAL format but i am afraid that once i buy it the player will not play them. Anyone know?

I did some checking around and the NTSC's version I purchased. It is said to be compatible with PAL systems. I hope this helps. (You may need a US PSN account for any upcoming downloadable content.)

Yes it will definitely play UK (PAL) DVDs on a US TV and vis versa. The input voltages on these models and other dual mode DVDs tend to be dual 50 to 60 HZ / 110 to 220v inputs. All DVDs players can actually be set internally to output PAL or NTSC. I would not recommend this one due to the fact it has been internally converted to play PAL and / or NTSC and is based on a model for use in Asia where a non PAL / NTSC standard is used. I would recommend the Pioneer models as a more robust versions as they typically tend to be true dual mode players (PAL / NTSC). There is a tendency for DVD players that have been internally converted (sometimes by the supplier) to fail to a default for example if converted from an NTSC machine to also output PAL, will fail and only output NTSC. But yes it will play UK DVDs.

Dear S Mitra, my unit (BDX1400) will NOT play european (PAL) DVDs. It ejects them with the message "Wrong Region"Am I doing something wrong? How do you make it work?

if you are asking about playing PAL DVD's on a North American system TV, no you do not need a converter. I connected the player with a hdmi cable and it automatically played my PAL DVD's

Panasonic DMP-BD91 was designated to play BD-A and DVD-1 and will not play PALThere is however hardware modified version of this player sold by world-import.com at much higher price. This information is not intended as a solicitation of world-import.com products but only to provide Amazon customer answer to question pertaining region free and other format DVD media playability of this unit.

As far as I know it is not possible to unlock the HD-A3 player. You are correct it will not play PAL disks. My stupid P.O.S. Toshiba that I bought 3 years ago for $40 will play PAL but it doesn't have an HDMI connection so it's pretty useless. The regions and the PAL/NTSC can be broken in about 30 seconds by real pirates. It is just us lowly consumers who suffer due to the industry's misplaced faith in technology that doesn't work!

Otto, The answer is yes for most but not all. go this site to check if your player is listed. http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks I think region 0 is the setting for all regions. Good luck. EdCherif

I would be surprised if it didn't, since it seems to handle everything else I can think of. It is a fabulous TV!!! I believe the PAL format is only applicable to the player you use to play the DVD/CD/tape etc. If the video signal that is output from your player is HDMI, it will definitely work. Will probably work with whatever signal is output since the manufacturer ships worldwide!!! I also have the 80" Sharp. The 90" is far superior in picture quality!!!

This Panasonic unit only plays NTSC VGA tapes, DVD's, and Blu Ray discs. It can play media from a USB flash drive or SD card recorded in the NTSC system. Amazon offers a Panasonic unit that will play PAL/NTSC and convert for viewing in either direction. Search for "PAL/NTSC DVD Player."

My suggestion would be to buy a Sherwood BDP-5004 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black) which is a Momitsu 899 under the skin, and which, with a remote code, can be switched from BD A to BD B and to all regions of DVD, or any one region of DVD. Yes, the Brit BD player would be a problem because SD elements on a Region B BD are often SD PAL. Also some BDs are 1080i/50 Hz ("Super PAL") rather than the US 1080i/60 Hz. The Sherwood/Momitsu can be set for NTSC output through the HDMI cable and will play ANY European BD of any type. All for cheap. Buy two!

There is no reference to PAL in the setup, only NTSC., I'm sure if you are on PAL it will be PAL. But I can only say no PAL on my unit.

Short answer: The unit is physically capable of playing PAL, but it will refuse because it is region-locked.I can't link to the manual from Amazon, but if you search for P10.1ES_EN_UM.PDF you should find it. Page 22-23 explain the following: The player is region-locked, though they apparently make players for all 6 regions. The USA is region 1, and NTSC is the format we use here, so it's unlikely you'll ever see a "normal" PAL dvd that is also region 1. If you do happen to have a region-free PAL DVD, it should play just fine.

that is not true. as per other post all you need to do is get the firmware. and you can always install original firmware if player needs to be serviced. it takes 2 minutes. now the philips have problems with divx playback as well as aspect ratio problems with some files, i had one and returned it. now pioneer has been runing for 3 months and i am watching all the files and pal region 2 dvds without any issues

The N. American version will NOT play PAL or 50hz DVDs. I'd expect if Sony sold this model in a 50hz country it would play PAL but ones for the US will not play PAL.

Yes. I have a PAL copy of Mary Poppins I got in France and it plays fine on my USA model TV with this player.
