Is this PAL/NTSC or only NTSC. I have a PAL DVR and NTSC will not work for me.

I threw away the piece of paper that came with it. I'm pretty sure it's NTSC.

NTSC.........you might have better luck ordering from ALIbaba. or some other overseas company....... Unless the seller says to specify NTSC or PAL when ordering.

If by HD you mean 720P or 1080P, then no. These are the recording resolutions: NTSC: D1(704 x 480); HD1(704 x 240); CIF (352 x 240)PAL: D1(704 x 576); HD1(704 x 288); CIF (352 x 288)

I'm not sure. I did not have mine long enough to try that. If you try it & it does could you tell me? The recorders that I've seen other folks use will record it from a DVR, but it's not 720 or 1080. It's only 480( standard def).

That's interesting. I wonder why it's called a DVR. I actually had the same question as Dennis, thanks for your reply.OK. I just got off the phone with tech at Archos and both the home and travel DVR do record from TV, VCR and DVD player. The main difference is the Home DVR dock is not travel friendly because of size/weight and there is no "s" plug on the travel dock.

The Sony PD170 I bought from the US records in NTSC but I converted it to PAL for the UK and Africa

Hi Asam Unfortunately, I bought NTSC and it did not work. But I have bought before PAL and it worked fine .. So make sure it reads PAL on the cover compatible.

ALL DVD players play PAL DVD?????? While this does not address your main comments dedicated to region-free play, it is absolutely NOT true that ALL DVD players play both NTSC and PAL! I even recently bought a relatively expensive Panasonic DVD-Burner/multi-format Player that is pretty high end in everything and yet that does not handle PAL, so I must take exception to your glib declaration that may lead some folks who are interested in PAL DVD viewing to stop double-checking for that specification before making an unfortunate purchase.

Same problem here, Almost impossible to switch between PAL & NTSC went you can't tell what you've selected while the screen is flipping and rolling. took me an hour of guessing

Hi. I don't know what PAL is? The DVD/VCR Combo that I purchased does play both DVD and VCR formats. However, the unit will not allow me to advance on the DVD format. Very disappointing.

a different region player, say for the UK, will probably play the appropriate pal type video. This is region 1 thus works w/ NTSC

This thing does not work at all. If you are inputting a PAL signal, you theoretically should get a synced NTSC out. This thing does not work at all and has no sync circuitry.

Thanks for the reply.I assume it's a non-issue, but does it also do a good job of playing Pal DVDs on a PAL TV?

If you are in the USA, make sure the NTSC-PAL switch is set to NTSC. In Europe, to PAL. Other places - I'm not sure, but you could try that switch. Also, other components may have a similar switch.

Not sure if PAL and NTCS formats are crucial I this. Maybe ask Xbox support.

If it plays PAL, does that mean that the region coding can be overridden? That I can finally buy DVDs from overseas without a hitch? Let me know. Thanks.

It is usually NTSC unless stated specifically. If the camera is being sold by a European seller be careful and ask. PAL will not play back on American TVs which are NTSC.

I copied this from a website, but I verified the digit sequence from another website: 1. Press Setup 2. Select Preference 3. Press 1,3,8,9,3,1 4. Press up/down key to select "0" Then it plays NTSC or PAL any region as it is now region free. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN ENTERING THIS. IF YOU DON'T DO IT CORRECTLY, IT CAN DISABLE YOUR PLAYER PERMANENTLY. Try at your own risk.
